I’m thinking I’m going to need some help translating a Python class into  
Ruby. It involves communication with another program via pipes (also uses  
fork, but I’m wondering if threads might be a better choice).

If there are any folks out there who know a bit of Python and would be  
willing to answer a few questions and make suggestions for Ruby  
equivilents I’d appreciated it - please drop me an email.
