natu was written by Kevin Davies. Some aspects of the project were inspired by or copied from these packages:

  • Pint (BSD license):
    • Copied and modified some of the functions for string formatting
    • Used the idea of unit definition files
    • Copied some of the unit definitions
  • SciMath (BSD license):
    • Adapted the approach for tracking dimensions
    • Copied some of the unit definitions

The logo was copied and modified from an image of the electron shell transitions of hydrogen by Szdori (Mar. 19 2009).

natu.util.list_packages() is based on unutbu‘s post on Stack Overflow (Nov. 10 2009).
