I'm just raising a question to the ones who know both ruby and python.
I'm new to python since this morning (learned it in only 8hours, that's a
good point for python; I've been looking to the ruby book, which seems to
be a tutorial, that will take me more time to read...).
I don't know ruby.

I've learned python because it can be used as a script language for other
application. Actually it is used as a script language for
Blender3D (http://www.blender3d.com), and I need to script this soft.

My question is: can ruby be also used as a scripting language for another
app (not written in ruby)?
If the answer is yes: is it used in any application?

Thanks,
