Python68k 0.8.0 is out
The big news in this release is classes. You can now write class Name: and class Name(Base): with single inheritance, __init__, per-instance attributes and bound methods. isinstance, issubclass, object and type(obj) work too.
Exceptions have been reworked. The built-in exceptions are now real types under BaseException and Exception, so except Exception catches subclasses, and you can define and raise your own exception classes.
Some things are still out of scope: multiple inheritance, metaclasses, super(), operator methods like __add__, nested classes and closures
The runtime itself now installs to SYS:Python68k and comes with an Uninstall script..
