Hello all,
I am a Python programmer and a Ruby Nuby. I have not found a guide
available for Python programmers wishing to learn Ruby. I know Python
and would like to write a tut so future people in my position can make
the change easier.
Would anybody who knows the Ruby language care to get involved in this
project?
I want to set up some examples like -- How do you handle situations in
Ruby where you would use a list comprehension in Python? for example
to iterate over a container selecting the items that pass a test [obj
for obj in list if obj.attribute == this] ,etc, etc...
Why not make it bidirectional? So good for ruby programmers learning python too? I'd be interested in that.

As you know quite a bit of bad blood exists between the two languages.
This imbalance exists from a misunderstanding and/or lack of knowledge
between the other. We could really do something good here. Let's do
some talking off list and see what we can come up with! feel free to
contact me.

Bad blood? Python is one of the few languages I can pick on without feeling like I'm in a battle of wits with an unarmed person. I think you will find that a large number of Rubyists think highly of it.

It's not what I know that counts.
It's what I can remember in time to use.

Completely false.
There are a few people who like making inflammatory posts, that's all. It does not reflect how the majority of users of each language feel about the other.

I have no experience with Python, but what I've seen looks OK. I've never had a need or desire to learn it.

I've never met a happy clam. In fact, most of them were pretty steamed.

Agreed. However Python seems to stand in my way. But that might be my
fault. Maybe working with someone who knows Python well would help me
to like it better. Thus I am quite interested.
Python really saved my day once or twice as a sysadmin, but I did
never fall in love with it.
Anyway I am quite interested in contributing.

A question James, did _we_? I do not really recall. Did _they_? I do
not really care ;).
Cheers

OK!, OK! no bad blood then. I was wrong. Don't beat me to death with a
wet noodle here. We need to focus on the goal, and that is writing
a bidirectional Ruby<->Python tut.
Of course not, just tell us with what you want be beaten to death and
we happily will comply
But why not start, I feel that list comprehension is a great idea.
