Hey shadhin I'm actually working on a program called abacus. I have python 2.6.6 and I was wondering if I could use your gui calculator in my program. Here is why I have so far

def get_shape():
	print "Which do you want to calculate?"
	print "1	Area of Circle"
	print "2	Area of Trapezoid"
	print "3	Area of Triangle"
	print "4	Area of Rectangle"
	print "5	Surface Area of Cone"
	print "6	Surface Area of Cylinder"
	print "7	Surface Area of Pyramaid"
	print "8	Surface Area of Sphere"
	print "9	Volume of Cone"
	print "10   Volume of Cylinder"
	print "11   Volume of a Rectangular Prism"
	print "12   Volume of Pyramaid"
	print "13   Volume of Sphere"
	shape = int(raw_input("Choose the shape: "))
	return shape

def get_choice():
	print "Select what you want to do"
	print "1	Calculate Area & Volume"
	print "2	Basic Calculator"
	print "3	Exit"
	print "4	Credits"
	choice = int(raw_input())
	return choice

def get_selection():
	print "Select what you want to do."
	print "1 Calculate Area & Volume"
	print "2 Credits"
	print "3 Exit"
	selection = int(raw_input("Select what you want to do: "))
	return selection
   
def main():
	print "Welcome to Volume. Area. Conversion. (VAC)"
	print "VAC is a free mathmatical program that calculates volume, area, surface area,converts lengths, and temperatures."
	print "VAC was created by Rodrigue Achu"
	choice = get_choice()
	if choice ==1:
		selection = get_selection()
		if selection ==1:
			shape = get_shape()
			if shape ==1:#Area of Circle
				radius = input("Enter the radius: ")
				area = 3.14*(radius**2)
				print "The area is", area
				main()
			elif shape ==2:#Area of Trapezoid
				height = input ("Enter the height: ")
				baseone = input ("Enter the first base: ")
				basetwo = input ("Enter the second base: ")
				area = (.5*height)*(baseone+basetwo)
				print "The area is", area
				main()
			elif shape ==3: #Area of Triangle
				base = input("Enter the base: ")
				height = input ("Enter the height: ")
				area = base*height*.5
				print "The area is", area
				main()
			elif shape ==4:#Area of Rectangle
				width = input ("Enter the width: ")
				height = input ("Enter the height: ")
				area = width*height
				print "The area is", area
				main()
			elif shape ==5:#Surface Area of Cone
				radius = input ("Enter the radius: ")
				length = input ("Enter the length: ")
				pi = 22.0/7.0
				surfacearea = (pi*radius*length)+(pi*radius**2)
				print "The surface area is", surfacearea
				main()
			elif shape ==6:#Surface Area of Cylinder
				radius = input ("Enter the radius: ")
				height = input ("Enter the height: ")
				pi = 22.0/7.0
				base = pi*radius*radius
				lateralarea = 2*pi*radius*height
				surfacearea = lateralarea + (base*2)
				print "The surface area is", surfacearea
				main()
			elif shape ==7:#Surface Area of Pyramaid
				base = input ("Enter one side of the base: ")
				height = input ("Enter the height: ")
				sidelength = input ("Enter the side length: ")
				surfacearea = (base*2*sidelength)+ (base**2)
				print "The surface area is", surfacearea
			elif shape ==8:#Surface Area of Sphere
				radius = input("Enter the radius: ")
				pi = 22.0/7.0
				surfacearea = (4*pi)*(radius**2)
				print "The surface area is", surfacearea
				main()
			elif shape ==9:#Volume of Cone
				radius = input("Enter the radius: ")
				height = input("Enter the height: ")
				pi = 22.0/7.0
				volume = (1/3)*pi*radius**2*height
				print "The volume is", volume
				main()
			elif shape ==10:#Volume of Cylinder
				radius = input("Enter the radius: ")
				height = input("Enter the height: ")
				pi = 22.0/7.0
				volume = height*pi*(radius**2)
				print "The volume is", volume
				main()
			elif shape ==11:#Volume of Rectangular Prism
				length = input("Enter the length: ")
				width = input("Enter the width: ")
				height = input("Enter the height: ")
				volume = length*width*height
				print"The volume is", volume
				main()
			elif shape ==12:#Volume of Pyramaid
				height = input("Please enter the height: ")
				base = input("Please enter one side of the base: ")
				volume = (1/3)*(base**2)*(height)
				main()
			elif shape ==13:#Volume of Sphere
				radius = input("Please enter the radius: ")
				pi = 22.0/7.0
				volume = (4/3)*(pi)*(radius**3)
				print "The volume is", volume
				main()
		else:  # selection ==2
			print "VAC was made by RFA with help from Kdoiron, and several other people"
			main()
	if choice ==2:   # choice ==2
		def get_menu():
			print "Welcome to VAC's basic calculator"
			print "Enter the equation you wish to solve"
			print "Ex: 5+5, 5*5, 5/5, etc."
			print "Please note that to raise a power use **, for ex: 5**2 = 5*5 = 5^2"
			equation = input("Enter the equation you wish to solve: ")
			solution = equation*1
			print "the answer is", solution
			return solutioun
		get_menu()
	if choice ==3:	# choice == 3
		x = 20
		while x>= 1:
			print "VAC is now closing"
			x = x-1

	if choice ==4:
		print "VAC was made by RFA with help from Kdoiron, and several other people"
		main()
						   
main()

it can also be seen here if you wish. See the reason that I'm asking for permission to edit the code and intergate it with my program is because my calculator (to be plain honest) sucks

In my gui calculator, i have used easygui module. I have checked your code. If you wish you can use it to your program also. Here is how to get started with easygui. Or if you feel comfort, then you can also edit Simple GUI Calculator code.

Have you checked out pyGame? It makes it super easy to make a graphical game(2d or 3d) anyway you want.

I did a Battle Bot program in Python for a class once and had fun doing it. We had to make modules for moving forward, moving backwards, attacking an opponent, fuel, ammo, etc. I enjoyed it much more than those that chose the Payroll program, boring!
