ConvertAll
ConvertAll is a unit conversion program in which units can be combined with multiplication and division operators and can be squared, cubed, etc. The interface is graphical, allowing the units to be selected from lists and the conversions to be made in both directions. Non-linear units (such as temperatures and gauge sizes) are supported. The unit data file can be easily modified to add additional units. ConvertAll is based on the PyQt library.

does just what it says on the packaging.
Nice scalable GUI with 100s of units listed and a
