CHANGED IT NOW TO A MUCH BETTER SOLUTION(will see if i can make a
better solution with the buttons, hate big blocks of similarlooking
code):


from __future__ import division
import Tkinter
from Tkinter import *

mygui = Tkinter.Tk()
mygui.title("Calculator")

l = Label(mygui, text="Answer: ")
l.place(relx=0.15, rely=0.2, anchor=CENTER)

e = Entry(mygui)
e.place(relx=0.4, rely=0.1, anchor=CENTER)

def Disp(nstr):
    e.insert(END, nstr)

def Calc():
    expr=e.get()
    try:
        b = Label(mygui, text=eval(expr))
        b.place(relx=0.4, rely=0.2, anchor=CENTER)
    except:
        b = Label(mygui, text="Not computable")
        b.place(relx=0.4, rely=0.2, anchor=CENTER)

def Erase():
    e.delete(0,END)
