It'll boot straight into a Python interpreter for use as a desktop calculator, the way the original Python was intended to be used.
## Purpose
Python makes for a great scriptable calculator! It would be super cool to make a compact calculator that presents the user with a Python interpreter to use for solving complex problems.
CW still has one year of college left, and since he loves Python so much, he wants to ditch his graphic calculator in favor of it!
Also, it'll just be fun to play with some hardware for a change!
An Internet connection will be needed to run some of the commands included in the preparation script.
It's recommended that a Raspberry Pi Zero W is used to connect to Internet. However, I have a few issues with creating an IoT calculator, so an alternative is to use a Raspberry Pi 1 B+ to do the package installation.
An alternative to the alternative is to boot once on the Zero, then insert the MicroSD into a PC and copy the required .deb files into a directory on the SD, then install them locally again when booted back into the Zero.
If I tried really hard, I might be able to make a custom Raspbian image that's all preconfigured and you won't have to worry about it.
Anyway, after getting the packages installed, simply run the "calcsetup.sh" script. It'll create needed config files.
It'll also ask for your root password when needed - Just a heads up.
## Assembly
This section will be updated when the physical layout is finalized.
