Thanks for the reply. This is what I have:
def inputBox_KeyDown(s, e):
root.message.Text = ''
key = e.Key.value__
if key == 3:
result = eval(root.inputBox.Text)
root.message.Text = str(result)
eval() seems to work sometimes. For example if the text in the textbox is
1+1 . But if the text for example is a=1 i get an error "Unexpected token
'=' " (This is in Ironpython studio). I guess it is because a=1 is not an
expression. What should I use then? What if I don't know what the user will
type in?
Thanks again!
If you only *want* an expression then a statement is indeed invalid. As
you are accepting arbitrary user input then you will need error handling
around the eval for when the user enters nonsense (as they are
guaranteed to at some point...). You probably want a way to signal to
the user what went wrong - perhaps a system message box.
