        Easily use and manipulate unit-aware measurement objects in Python.
        
        `django.contrib.gis.measure <https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/gis/measure.py>`_
        has these wonderful 'Distance' objects that can be used not only for storing a
        unit-aware distance measurement, but also for converting between different
        units and adding/subtracting these objects from one another.
        
        This module not only provides those Distance and Area measurement
        objects, but also other measurements including:
        
        - Energy
        - Speed
        - Temperature
        - Time
        - Volume
        - Weight
        
        Example:
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
           >>> from measurement.measures import Weight
           >>> weight_1 = Weight(lb=125)
           >>> weight_2 = Weight(kg=40)
           >>> added_together = weight_1 + weight_2
           >>> added_together
           Weight(lb=213.184976807)
           >>> added_together.kg  # Maybe I actually need this value in kg?
           96.699
        
        .. warning::
           Measurements are stored internally by converting them to a
           floating-point number of a (generally) reasonable SI unit.  Given that 
           floating-point numbers are very slightly lossy, you should be aware of
           any inaccuracies that this might cause.
        
           TLDR: Do not use this in
           `navigation algorithms guiding probes into the atmosphere of extraterrestrial worlds <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Climate_Orbiter>`_.
