If you reverse the computation, it gets even simpler:
binstr = raw_input("Please enter a binary number: ")
decnum = 0
for i in binstr:
decnum = decnum * 2 + int(i)
But if we are allowed to use int() it is easier still:
decnum = int(raw_input("Please enter a binar

You're making it more complicated than it needs to.
Also, you first used binnum then binum, and you didn't define binsum.
It could easily be done like this:
binnum = raw_input("Please enter a binary number: ")
decnum = 0
rank = 1
for i in reversed(binnum):
decnum += rank * int(i)
rank *
