Signature de la fonction convert_temperature

def convert_temperature(val, old_scale, new_scale) 

Description

convert_temperature.__doc__

    Convert from a temperature scale to another one among Celsius, Kelvin,
    Fahrenheit, and Rankine scales.

    Parameters
    ----------
    val : array_like
        Value(s) of the temperature(s) to be converted expressed in the
        original scale.

    old_scale: str
        Specifies as a string the original scale from which the temperature
        value(s) will be converted. Supported scales are Celsius ('Celsius',
        'celsius', 'C' or 'c'), Kelvin ('Kelvin', 'kelvin', 'K', 'k'),
        Fahrenheit ('Fahrenheit', 'fahrenheit', 'F' or 'f'), and Rankine
        ('Rankine', 'rankine', 'R', 'r').

    new_scale: str
        Specifies as a string the new scale to which the temperature
        value(s) will be converted. Supported scales are Celsius ('Celsius',
        'celsius', 'C' or 'c'), Kelvin ('Kelvin', 'kelvin', 'K', 'k'),
        Fahrenheit ('Fahrenheit', 'fahrenheit', 'F' or 'f'), and Rankine
        ('Rankine', 'rankine', 'R', 'r').

    Returns
    -------
    res : float or array of floats
        Value(s) of the converted temperature(s) expressed in the new scale.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> from scipy.constants import convert_temperature
    >>> convert_temperature(np.array([-40, 40]), 'Celsius', 'Kelvin')
    array([ 233.15,  313.15])
