Alright, relevant information can be found in this thread(Is that what they're called here?).
Python Calculator Divide by Zero/Sqrting a Neg. Int. crashing program
Sorry if I should have just kept it to that thread, I'm unfamiliar with the etiquette here and was also unsure if it would be seen.
Anyway, I've made some changes to the code given there. This is my current final product.
import math
def convertString(str):
try:
returnValue = int(str)
except ValueError:
returnValue = float(str)
return returnValue
def addition(a, B):
return convertString(a) + convertString(B)
def subtraction(a, B):
return convertString(a) - convertString(B)
def multiplication(a, B):
return convertString(a) * convertString(B)
def division(a, B):
return convertString(a) / convertString(B)
def sqrt(a):
return math.sqrt(convertString(a))
def expo(a, B):
x = convertString(a)
y = convertString(B)
return math.pow(x, y)
def fact(a):
return math.factorial(convertString(a))

I've solved the closing issue, and I've already ran through it to make sure that everything was functional and appearing correctly(Spacer lines where they're supposed to be, no words split between lines, etc.). Now I(believe I) am ready to make it a stand-alone. From what I've seen it's possible, and should even add in anything that's imported(In this case, the math library(I believe that's what it's called.) is imported, so it would be included in the stand-alone version, correct?). So, as my title says, how do I go from a Python file to an executable? I've already tried to find the answer myself, but the tools given are either out of date or don't work(At least how I used them.).
Any advice?
