Name (Abbreviation) of the unit you want to create?

K

What is its base SI unit?

Kelvin

Would you like to provide more information about your unit?

Kelvin is an absolute scale for temperature, so 0 kelvin is absolute zero.

kelvin

kelvin = Unit(name='kelvin', abbr='K', si=kelvin)
K = kelvin

I'm not sure what lambda function to write for Kelvin but here are the conversions from Celsius and Fahrenheit:

Kelvin to Celsius

k_to_c = lambda k: k - 273.15

Celsius to Kelvin

c_to_k = lambda c: c + 273.15

Kelvin to Fahrenheit

k_to_f = lambda k: k * 9/5 - 459.67

Fahrenheit to Kelvin

f_to_k = lambda f: (f + 459.67) * 5/9
