"""
Constants and unit conversion, mostly for standalode usage.
Previously, QPMS used scipy.constants in the python parts.
Now the relevant ones are set explicitly here in order
to avoid dependency on the whole scipy (which needs a fortran
compiler to build.
The values are taken from scipy / "2018 CODATA recommended values".
They slightly differ from the constants in GSL that are used
in the C code. It would be desirable to use the same source,
hence the values here might be subject to change in future versions.
