pycalc

After searching for the perfect calculator app for the mac desktop, i ended up with the python shell.

To make things a little bit easier, i use a python script to do some setup and provide helpers. It's packaged into a mac app using appify.

It loads the math library into global namespace and offers some helper functions.

Usage

PyCalc v.0.2.0

- AVAILABLE VALUES -----------------------
 _           references last output
 pi, e, gr   π, euler's nmbr, golden ratio

documentation see here:
http://docs.python.org/2/library/math.html
