Unit Converter by langbot-team

# Unit Converter

Convert length / weight / temperature / data-size / time. Pure stdlib.

```
python scripts/run.py 5 km mi
python scripts/run.py 180 lb kg
python scripts/run.py 100 c f
python scripts/run.py 1.5 gb mb
python scripts/run.py 2 h s
python scripts/run.py --list
echo 32 | python scripts/run.py - f c
```

`-p/--precision N` controls decimal places (default 6).

# Unit Converter

Convert between common units across five categories from chat.

## When to use
The user wants a quick unit conversion — length, weight, temperature, data size, or time — like km↔miles, kg↔lb, °C↔°F, GB↔MB, or hours↔seconds.

## How to use
Run `scripts/run.py` with `value from_unit to_unit`:
- `python scripts/run.py 5 km mi` — kilometers to miles.
- `python scripts/run.py 180 lb kg` — pounds to kilograms.
- `python scripts/run.py 100 c f` — Celsius to Fahrenheit.
- `python scripts/run.py 1.5 gb mb` — gigabytes to megabytes.
- `python scripts/run.py 2 h s` — hours to seconds.
- `python scripts/run.py --list` — show every supported unit.
- `echo 32 | python scripts/run.py - f c` — read the value from stdin.

Use `-p/--precision` to set decimal places (default 6).

## Pitfalls
- Units must be in the same category; mixing (e.g. `kg` to `m`) exits 1.
- Data sizes: `kb/mb/gb` are decimal (1000), `kib/mib/gib` are binary (1024); `b`/`bit` are bits, `B`/`byte` are bytes.
- Temperature uses single letters `c`, `f`, `k` (or full names).
