Some years ago, while playing with Sun's Postscript-based NeWS window system, I devised an OO language (called P) that got translated into PostScript. It had a very Smalltalk-like class/metaclass system, although rather simpler than what JimF described. As I remember, the kernel consisted of a little knot of about 6 classes with some interesting incestuous relationships between them. If anyone's interested, I could dig out the code and provide details of how it all worked. There might be some ideas that could be used in Python. (Programming in P felt a lot like programming in Python, by the way. If my name had been Guido, who knows where it might have led!)
