The distance/area objects in GeoDjango are an under-appreciated feature. The docs have a more readable version of the supported units: http://geodjango.org/docs/measure.html#supported-units http://geodjango.org/docs/measure.html#supported-units

Rails' ActiveSupport has a similarly nifty feature, where 15.days.ago is a valid Time object, and it all just works out of the box.
