Hi everyone! I’ve borrowed ideas from \_why’s original attempts to compile Ruby into Python bytecode. I’m releasing a fully-featured Python bytecode compiler which works on Ruby source code. It’s passing the full rubyspec suite, at least for the time being. I’ve also added basic interfacing between Ruby and Python so Ruby can call Python objects and vice versa. Here’s a link to the project page: [http://bit.ly/19dPM7](http://bit.ly/19dPM7) Cheers! Gary Niger –“Pretty much, Apple and Dell are the only ones in this industry making money.

Take care. -=r ---

Whatever you do don’t open that link. I wish I would have seen Roger’s message before clicking… Anyone know how to make Firefox forget what tabs you last had open? I killed my browser, but every time I open Firefox back up those images damn images appear. Safari will have to do until I figure out what to do. Michael G. ---

Nevermind, I got it all worked out. `killall -9 firefox-bin` then it prompts if you want to restore the previous session. ---

I think if you select “Exit” from the Firefox File menu, it will also ask you if you want to save the Windows. Cheers, Mohit. 5/31/2009 | 10:51 PM. ---

The project sounds good but the website is pretty useless: no download section, no documentation, etc. I-don’t-know-who started a similar project (good idea, useless website) few years ago. I think it was called 2 ladies 1 glass or something similar. Cheers, Serabe P.D. And now, back to work.
