You could structure it a bit better but something to start with could
be(it works):

def calc(n):
    print n

def fibo(n):
    a=b=1
    while n > 0:
        print a
        a, b, n = b, a+b, n-1


NOTE = """Enter 1 for the calculator, 2 for the Fibonacci
sequence, or something else to quit: """

while True:

    loop = raw_input(NOTE)

    if loop == '1':
        forcalc = raw_input("\nPut in an equation: ")
        calc(forcalc)
    elif loop == '2':
        forfibo = raw_input("\nWhat Fibonacci number do you want to go
to? ")
        n = int(forfibo)
        fibo(n)
    else:
        break
