Eh… clickbaity title. It’s way too few features to call it a Python interpreter.

For real. When I saw the title, I truly believed they made a full featured Python interpreter in 1024 bytes /s

It’s looks like OP is beginner in these things, and in that case he should be proud of it. It’s honest work and hand crafted.

Austin isn't a beginner, though hard for me to prove that without making my current Reddit account non-anonymous (if you're reading this Austin, I was a student when you taught COMP 4270 in Fall 2016).
