I am using MoveGroupCommander.set_pose_targets function to set my robot arm target. The argument is a list of 7 floats as [x, y, z, qx, qy, qz, qw].

To set up the gripper vertically, what is the value of qx, qy, qz, qw?

(qx, qy, qz, qw) is a tuple used to represent orientation. It is known as Quaternion. Please feel free to read about it. I am sure you will enjoy the lovely mathematics behind it.

See http://wiki.ros.org/tf2/Tutorials/Qua... , in particular section 3.

Many people starting out find it easier to think in terms of euler angles (roll, pitch and yaw), then use the tf transformations library to convert the 3 euler angles to a quaternion.
