+
+Pint is a Python package to define, operate and manipulate physical
+quantities: the product of a numerical value and a unit of measurement.
+It allows arithmetic operations between them and conversions from and
+to different units.
+
+It is distributed with a comprehensive list of physical units, prefixes
+and constants. Due to its modular design, you can extend (or even
+rewrite!) the complete list without changing the source code. It
+supports a lot of numpy mathematical operations without monkey patching
+or wrapping numpy.
+
+NOTE: Unable to support newer versions due to requiring newer version
+of python than is available in Slackware 15.0 (python 3.11).
