Determining the Unit of Spatial Resolution of a raster image in Python

Question

I have some raster images, and I would like to determine the GSD using Python.
I know that I can use rasterio.transform()  or gdal.GetGeoTransform()  to extract the spatial resolution of the image.
How do I determine the units of the spatial resolution.

You can use the linear_units property in the crs class. For example:
import rasterio

raster = rasterio.open('/path/to/your/raster.tif' )

print(raster.crs.linear_units)
