[BioRuby] Import Python modules in Ruby...

[Sharvari Gujja]

Hi,

I'd like to know if there is a way to import Python modules into Ruby. I 
downloaded the Ruby/Python library to embed the Python interpreter.

However on running the script I get an error saying:
*C:/Program 
Files/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in 
`gem_original_require': no such file to load -- python (LoadError)
    from C:/Program 
Files/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `require'
    from Z:/ruby_progs/test2.rb:1*

I extracted  "python" library at C:/Program 
Files/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/ . [My ruby version is 1.8.6]

The script I am trying to run is :

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'rubygems'
require 'python'
require 'python/naming'
require 'python/xreadlines'

 distance = naming.DISTANCE_TOOL.distance("protein 1", "protein2")
 print distance
 
Could someone please help.

Thanks
S
