Configurable decimal symbol in Calc package

[QX4]

Use the decimal symbol set in Windows' Region and Language options (like Launchy) and/or make it an option in calc.ini.

You can use the following patch to allow using the "," as decimal symbol (and the "^" for "**").

If you want full configurability, you can use this version:
Calc.zip
By using Decimal_Sign you can change it in the ini, and for stuff you normally need the , for, you can use the point. (so pow(2,4. 3) instead of pow(2.4, 3))

Another suggestion to realize usage of "^" instead of "**" would be provided by the following patch for the original calc.py. I would regard this as a more safe variant compared to replace()

calc.pow.patch.txt

I'm not sure whether to add it as PullRequest to ThaSiouL s repository or feel free to integrate it to official package

I'd like to implement it for now. Would you like to make a request or should i merge it myself?
Edit: Merged 😄

(My idea was to make aliases configurable in the .ini file. But it seemed kinda overkill.)

The Calc-features was the first thing I tested since I have had problems with those plugins in Launchy. And since I'm swedish this configuration was my first stumbling point, it is needed to allow for our decimal comma. So many thanks for this patch!

Minor thing though, replacing the already used instances of comma with period is not the best option, it just looks wrong. Instead you should use the same approach as swedish Excel/VBA formulas and use semicolon for separating arguments, or at least make it configurable.

That is: pow(2,4; 3) instead of pow(2,4. 3)
