Part 1: physipy brings meter and Joule to python
—
Have you ever done engineering/scientific computation with Python, and ended up lost or confused about which unit your variable was expressed in, like “is that the value in meters or millimeters”? Or you realized that at some point you added an electrical current with a resistance — which is impossible? As every physics teacher has said at some point: you cannot add carrots and tomatoes.
Well, physipy is here exactly to solve those kinds of problems.
