Does my code work in metres or feet?

Each program has its own units. Without a units line it's metric, and the game gives it every length in metres. Put # units: imperial near the top (in Python) and the game gives it feet instead, both in what it reads and in what it sends. Only lengths and areas change: angles, throttles, turn rates, hull points and times are the same either way.
