Hi so I'm very very new to programming so please forgive me if I'm not able to ask with the correct jargon, but I'm writing a simple program for an assignment in which I'm to convert CGS units to SI units
For example:
if num == "1": #Gauss --> Tesla
A=float(raw_input ("Enter value: "))
print "=", A/(1e4), "T"
with this I'm only able to convert one value at a time. Is there a way I can input multiple values, perhaps separated by commas and perform the calculation on all of them simultaneously and spit out another list with the converted values?

You can read in a comma-separated list of numbers from the user (with added whitespace possibly), then split it, strip the excessive white space, and loop over the resulting list, converting each value, putting it in a new list, and then finally outputting that list:
raw = raw_input("Enter values: ")
inputs = raw.split(",")
results = []
for i in inputs:
num = float(i.strip())
converted = num / 1e4
results.append(converted)
outputs = []
for i in results:
outputs.append(str(i)) # convert to string
print "RESULT: " + ", ".join(outputs)
Later, when you're more fluent in Python, you could make it nicer and more compact:
inputs = [float(x.strip()) for x in raw_input("Enter values: ").split(",")]
results = [x / 1e4 for x in inputs]
print "RESULT: " + ", ".join(str(x) for x in results)
or even go as far as (not recommended):
print "RESULT: " + ", ".join(str(float(x.strip()) / 1e4) for x in raw_input("Enter values: ").split(","))
If you want to keep doing that until the user enters nothing, wrap everything like this:
while True:
raw = raw_input("Enter values: ")
if not raw: # user input was empty
break
... # rest of the code
