Why is the fact the stacktrace is from Python worth of emphasis?

James apparently pressed the keycombo for "paste" twice when
creating the small URL.

http://rubyurl.com/T29 points to:

http://rubyforge.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/highline/lib/highline/system_extensions.rb?revision=155&root=highline&pathrev=153http://rubyforge.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/highline/lib/highline/system_extensions.rb?revision=155&root=highline&pathrev=153

Which, if I put a newline before the second occurence of "http://", becomes:

http://rubyforge.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/highline/lib/highline/system_extensions.rb?revision=155&root=highline&pathrev=153
http://rubyforge.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/highline/lib/highline/system_extensions.rb?revision=155&root=highline&pathrev=153

Striking family resemblance between the links. To further support the
conspiracy theory, using one of the lines (pick which you like better),
points you to system_extensions.rb, a module encapsulating amongst other
thing platform-dependent character reading functions.

RubyURL doesn't tell you the original URL after conversion like TinyURL
does, which makes it easier to oversee a double-paste.

That's ViewVC [snip]

I was justifying (of sorts) what code in Python would be doing on
rubyforge.org - mildly baffled why someone would find the fact worthy of
stopping over and emphasising the find.
