Oops, forgot! The Scale widget outputs a single argument - the value of  
the slider. You therefore could write:

    command = lambda value : Calc(value)

or even simpler:

    command = Calc

In the latter case, you're supplying your "calc" function as the function  
to be called. Calc takes a single argument - the value of the slider, so  
it fulfills the task. Note that we're passing "Calc" (the function  
itself), not "Calc(...)" (the result of calling the function)
