Why not get a few volunteers together and just port it? It's only about 24k 
lines of code - and since Python and Ruby are relatively "close" languages, a 
lot of that could probably be a line-by-line translation into Python.

Get the group to agree to 0 changes in functionality and each person can proceed 
almost independently (heck, I'll sign up to port a few files if somebody wants 
to manage a list of who is assigned to what).

Or, if you try Ruby and end up liking it, you're done. ;-) (I did try it, but 
really, really didn't like it)
