Here's one way:

FEET_SEPERATOR = "'"
height = raw_input("Enter your height (ie: 6'1)")
heightSplit = height.split(FEET_SEPERATOR)
heightFeet = int(heightSplit[0])
heightInches = int(heightSplit[1])
inchesFromFeet = heightFeet*12
totalInches = inchesFromFeet + heightInches
print 'You are {0} inches'.format(totalInches)
