I downloaded the Python source version and it ran fine on Windows 10 and I also tried the minimal version which worked perfectly too. I just need to work out the keyboard mapping for the minimal version. I'm sure it's in the documentation :-)

Congrats!

If you press shift+k the onscreen keyboard will show. The computer keyboard mapping for a calculator key is shown under the key. (Edited to add: and thank you for trying it out!) Edited again to add: if you don't want to run the full version to see the keyboard, the hp1973_prefs file has a section which defines the onscreen keyboard and maps the computer keyboard: it's pretty much human-readable. (hp1973_calcs.json then maps the decoded computer/onscreen keys to internal calculator keycodes.)
