I'm using version 3.4 - this probably explains it!
thanks

M.units() will give a set of units which are a Z-basis for the units
modulo roots of unity. There is no canonical basis, so there's no
reason why (even if the unit ranks are the same) you should get the
same generators.
For more functionality with units construct U=X.unit_group() and look
at the
Thank you very much.
The Unum python package from http://home.scarlet.be/be052320/Unum.html
seems to be what I need at my basic level :-)

Never thought about this in that way, but I think this could probably

This is interesting. I guess one way to represent numbers with units
is as Laurent monomials with the number as coefficient and the units
as symbols. This seems to fit in the framework for symbolic
expressions. There will be various predefined relations between these
monomials like 1000*m = 1*km.
I've not tried it and don't know if it will help but since SAGE is
written in Python,
you can look at this tutorial for a Python package called Unim:
