Clever stuff. I like that the author used modern techniques (python) to generate the custom C64 character set.

That was usually the case “back in the day”, people would use their Amigas and Ataris to prep work - I’d use my Atari ST and GFA Basic to generate all sorts of lookup tables which was too tedious to do on the C-64 (esp. if all you had was a “datasette”)

I also used some Haskell in another C64 project. Made a VICE memory snapshot parser for digging some values out of RAM. Haskell was a lot handier for byte level access than Python.
