[Casa-framework] Added quanta tool to casapy

[Kumar Golap]

An observation  I have

Design wise ....right now quanta.quantity is not more useful that
quantity alone to use...

because i need to use a float and a string....e.g so i need to convert
myself to a float something i know in hours mins and seconds

if you look at the quanta examples in glish

http://aips2.aoc.nrao.edu/docs/user/General/node474.html#quanta


it can interprete  a string and convert it to the right quatitty and units

qa.quantity('12h00m00')

gets converted to a time quamntity [0.5,''d']

qa.quantity('180d00m00')

gets converted to an angle quantity [3.142, 'rad')


etc etc...

So will that be possible to implement.


thanks

Kumar
