Question

[Dag Hansteen]

I make a GUI calculator in wxPython.
How can I do the following without having to use eval?:

    def OnCalc(self, event):
        try:
            regnestykke = self.formel.GetValue()
            svar = eval(regnestykke)
            svar = str(svar)
            self.answer.SetValue(svar)
        except:
            self.answer.SetValue("Error! Check Syntax!")

"""
self.formel is defined as wxTextCtrl for the input from user to be calculated 
self.answer is defined as wxTextCtrl for the answer of the users input
"""
