I don't think this is interesting enough algorithmically yet; the code also suffers from unnecessary code duplication: You've effectively hardcoded the cartesian product of {mile, kilometer, meter, centimeter, feet, yard, inch} with itself (and excepting self-to-self, of course).

I think you should change your function to be something like function LengthConversion(length, fromUnit, toUnit) where fromUnit and toUnit are standard abbreviations like km for kilometre or similar. Then you should use a lookup dict which maps these to meters. The calculation then becomes length * meters[fromUnit] / meters[toUnit], and you get away with a fraction of the code.
