I'm definitely interested in your adding more capabilities.

Nice work so far.  I'm surprised at the number of things that you got
work in the first version: long integers, simple classes, a number of
modules successfully import (math and itertools for example).

I don't now how difficult the work is, but it would be nice to have a
way to save multiple scripts, have an interactive prompt, and get more
modules to work (random, collections, functools).

Thanks again for your work.
