Not sure that's going to fly, but you might want to check out the
magnitude package:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/magnitude/0.9.1

I've used it in situations where I want to specify units scaled to a
more natural (to me) size. For example, the gobject.timeout_add
function takes a delay in milliseconds. Given that most of the time I
want delays in seconds or minutes, it's much more natural for me to
let magnitude do the work silently.
