Rippin' off Python
summary
Ports of Ruby libraries to Python produce concrete results: a Campfire-to-IRC bridge that works using Twisted, a Python rewrite of Tinder (Pinder), a py-stash port, and a real‑time Comet IRC web client called Leafy Chat built in a 48‑hour Django Dash that runs fast. The Rip experiment borrows ideas from virtualenv and pip for per‑project interpreters and dependency installs. The talk emphasizes implementation details, tooling, and which builds actually succeed.
