"""
This package defines units used in the CDS format, both the units
defined in `Centre de Données astronomiques de Strasbourg
<http://cds.u-strasbg.fr/>`_ `Standards for Astronomical Catalogues 2.0
<http://cds.u-strasbg.fr/doc/catstd-3.2.htx>`_ format and the `complete
set of supported units <http://vizier.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/Unit>`_.
This format is used by VOTable up to version 1.2.

These units are not available in the top-level `astropy.units`
namespace.  To use these units, you must import the `astropy.units.cds`
module::

    >>> from astropy.units import cds
    >>> q = 10. * cds.lyr  # doctest: +SKIP

To include them in `~astropy.units.UnitBase.compose` and the results of
`~astropy.units.UnitBase.find_equivalent_units`, do::

    >>> from astropy.units import cds
    >>> cds.enable()  # doctest: +SKIP
