As people have been asking me about this: NO - you cannot run any
existing C-64 software with my program. I should have put the word
emulator in quotes I suppose. The program is mostly an experiment with
tkinter graphics, in this case reproducing the C-64 (textmode) screen.
The 'BASIC interpreter' is just enough to be able to print stuff to the
screen and POKE the memory to change the contents of the screen and the
colors.

If you want to run your old c-64 software, use a _real_ emulator such as
Vice or ccs64 - this was never my goal :)
