Description-en: converts between different systems of units
GNU 'units' program converts quantities expressed in various scales
to their equivalents in other scales. The 'units' program can only
handle multiplicative scale changes directly. It uses a functional
notation for non-proportional conversions such a Fahrenheit
temperature to Celsius temperature.
.
This package includes the units_cur script to update currency
conversion information; this script requires a Python 3 interpreter
and the python3-requests library.
