Python Unit Converter Using Text Similarity

Simit - Unit Converter Using Text Similarity

Simit is modified pint unit converter that can read string (using text similarity) to call pint unit

Whats the different with pint ? In pint u can read string using pint pasre expression like code below

ureg.parse_expression('centimeter')

but, unit that defined using string must that the same. using simit u can use text similarity to check what unit that u want to use. example

# pint string parse 
ureg.parse_expression('centimrt') # ERROR / Not Valid

# simit 
sim.conv('centimrt') # Valid

Installation

You can install this lib using pip Run the command below to install

$ pip install simit

Dependencies

Library	Descriptions
pint	Popular python unit converter
python-Levenshtein	The Levenshtein Python C extension module to compute text similarity score

Example

from simit import SimUnit

sim = SimUnit()
print(1 * sim.conv('kilometr') + 500 * sim.conv('metr'))
# OUTPUT : 1.5 Kilometer

the first unit will be the base unit
