Hi, Don't know if there is a specific Ruby/Python bridge, but one way that will work for some needs is to use XML-RPC. Its not very difficult to understand and to program. XML-RPC is a lightweight distributed computing method, much simpler than say, CORBA. Also has less features, but may suffice for your needs. It has support for many languages and, as long as the needed libraries are there for your language, you can use any language for the client and any language for the server. I know for sure that XML-RPC supports Python and have used it with Python myself. Check out http://xmlrpc.com (and also Google for more resources on this topic) to learn more, download source code examples, and to check if there is Ruby support for it.
