First, pick a good subject header.

By having caught excep ValueError in your mainline code you lose the
opportunity to find out where it came from.  If you comment it out you will
see that the function inchtocm(inches) uses inches_number1 in its code.  So
you are ignoring the inches that you passed in.  Is that what you want?

The line above here is suspect since you likely want to return 2.54 *
inches
