A very simple option would be to just call eval() - you get the full power of Python at basically no cost. The downside is that you get the full power of Python, meaning your calculator could be used for 'dangerous' things. Depending on your target audience, that may or may not be an issue. > Also, I'd like to know how to make my program have visual qualities, > like the standard calculator.

Google for wxPython and wxGlade - you can design your interface in a point-and-click manner. You will need to learn a bit about wxPython in the process, but don't have to become an expert. -- Yours, Andrei ===== Mail address in header catches spam.
