pyunitwizard.QuantityRecord

class pyunitwizard.QuantityRecord

Values plus a verified description of their unit. Inert: it does not compute.

Build one with from_quantity() (or puw.convert(q, to_form="record")), store it with to_dict(), read it back with from_dict(), and get a computing quantity with to_quantity().

Examples

>>> import pyunitwizard as puw
>>> from pyunitwizard.record import QuantityRecord
>>> record = QuantityRecord.from_quantity(puw.quantity(3.0, "nM"), field="ic50")
>>> data = record.to_dict()                      # JSON-ready, sealed
>>> q = QuantityRecord.from_dict(data).to_quantity(field="ic50", unit="uM")
