If you know Ruby, you can read Python (or vice versa), enough to get the gist of what's going on. Hash is a python dictionary. Array is a python list, 'self' has to be explicitly added to class/method definitions because there's no @instance or @@class syntax. Python is quite readable though.
Translating one to the other, with the needed requires/imports and wrappers on the native libraries, well that's a challenge since Shoes doesn't expose all of the OS libraries that Python or plain Ruby will. If there's a working Python Window Manager and I wanted a scriptable window manager of my own, I'd learn Python instead of pushing Shoes where they don't shine. IMHO. > I dont understand any python at all but i may give this a try
