I would use a assert statement for more readability, like so.
*try: assert c*
*except AssertionError: print "error! please use -defined operators-!"*
else: *print *eval("float(%s)"%a)
Only if you want the user to be able to turn off error checking and
break your program.
"python -O" switches off all assertions.
Do not use asserts except for assertions about internal states of your
program. Never, ever use them for testing user input, or for reporting
errors to the user. That is not what they are for. If the user ever sees
an AssertionError, your code is buggy.
