The aim is to emulate the operation of early Hewlett-Packard calculators, but generalized by allowing programming in Python, providing access to useful Python functions, and to allow anything to be on the stack.
- provides typical numeric calculator operations.
- can read commands from the command line, from standard input, or from files.
- has a simple terminal REPL interface and a text-based user interface (TUI) with clickable buttons for digits and common operations and a display of the stack and variables.
- provides for input/output using engineering notation, e.g., 12K.
- provides direct access to over 400 Python functions, pre-imported from the builtins, math, operator, functools, and decimal modules.
- is programmable. You can write your own Python functions, to be loaded from a start-up file.
- allows you to put Python data structures, and other objects and functions onto the stack and operate on them.
- uses readline to keep a command history within and between sessions.
