hcpy: a console-based simple RPN calculator

[someonesdad1 at gmail.com]

I'd like to announce an RPN calculator intended to be used in a
console.  It is based on two previous versions I wrote over the last
15 years in C and C++.  Using python and mpmath (http://
code.google.com/p/mpmath) lets it be pure-python, yet much more
powerful than I could write in the same amount of time in C/C++.  I
use this calculator for simple stuff at my computer every day, but now
it has more horsepower than previous versions for when I need that
power.

It was influenced by the common functions of the HP-42s calculator,
still my favorite hand-held calculator.

It is intended to be simple-looking and austere.  It is easily
changeable and extensible and the configuration mechanisms let you
make it work the way you want (well, within reason).  You probably
won't be interested in this calculator unless you're 1) a die-hard RPN
user and 2) a command line weenie.

It is open source and available at http://code.google.com/p/hcpy.

I have added most of the functionality I envisioned, but the existing
code is a bit of a hacked-together mess that really needs to be
refactored.  Still, I would really like some feedback on the tool, so
please feel free to submit issues or send me email with any comments.
