how to pretty print an angle degree with ° instead of deg

[kompre]

Is it possible to pretty print a degree angle with the ° symbol?

This example:

from pint import UnitRegistry

u = UnitRegistry()

f'{1.0 * u.deg:~P}'

will return '1.0 deg'; I would prefer to be instead '1.0 °'.

Also if I set the locale to something, it will return nothing

u.set_fmt_locale('en_US')
f'{1.0 * u.deg:~P}'

it will return '1.0 '

You can make a copy of this file

https://github.com/hgrecco/pint/blob/master/pint/default_en.txt

and then replace deg by your desired symbol.

and the load this file u = UnitRegistry("myfile.txt")

Thanks. I assume the command needs to run everytime I initiate a unit registry?

Is there a "safe" way to make it a permanent config of my installation?

Indeed. But it not really a different command. u = UnitRegistry() means use the definitions file provided by the package

Not really. What I have done in the past is create a small package and import the regitry from there

We could change the DefaultRegistry to look for a default_en.txt file in the user_data_dir and use it, if it exists
