Convert a list in one unit to a list in another, using Pint.
Simple but saves me from writing this repeatedly in ipython.
<source> and <target> must be Pint units, e.g.
>>> ur = pint.UnitRegistry()
>>> convert([1, 2], ur.inch, ur.meter)
[<Quantity(0.0254, 'meter')>, <Quantity(0.0508, 'meter')>]
'''
return [Q(x, source).to(target) for x in array]
