Summary: paperformat units wrong

Initial Comment:
I just tried for the first time to set paperformat='letter', and 

discovered an error.  in _paperformats, the units for 'letter' 

and 'legal' are specified as

"letter"  : ("8.5 t in",   "11 t in"),

"legal"   : ("8.5 t in",   "14 t in")}

unfortunately, pyx.units defines the inch unit as 'inch' and 

not 'in'.  Please either add 'in' as an alias for an inch in 

pyx.units, or change _paperformats in pyx.canvas to use the 

current name.



Thanks.

The definition of _paperformats was corrected in CVS a few

days ago already. Discussing the other way to get rid of the

problem (switching to "in" instead of "inch" in pyx.unit) we

found, that it would break some naming scheme in pyx.unit

because "in" is a python keyword. However, as you requested,

it might still be nice to have just another alias "in" for

inch in the string handling of pyx.unit while primary keep

the name "inch" due to the python keyword "in".



Thanks for reporting this bug.
