#12They are both great languages, but how do we benefit by smushing them together?
Re: PyRuby - Some Ruby for your Python
#13I did this project for real back in the day, called Rupy[1] which would run the Python VM in the Ruby VM. It was was a fork of RubyPython, which demonstrated the concept. Eventually the main developer resumed development and I merged all my code in his repo, which is still active[2]. Check it out it works pretty well.

That's Python running inside Ruby, while the OP was (ostensibly) Ruby inside Python.
Rython [1] purports to run Ruby inside Python, although it hasn't been updated since 2009. Unlike RubyPython it doesn't actually embed a VM. Instead, it looks like it starts up an XML-RPC server on the Ruby side and the Python side acts as a client.

#15Not exactly the same idea ;) but my ErlPort [1] project allows to use Erlang as a router between Ruby and Python processes.
