That is, Ruby isn't at least not slower as Python :-) In fairness, if you change your code to use range() in Python it will go 10 times faster. I'm not following the discussion closely enough to know or care whether Ruby is really faster in this case but it isn't fair to compare against poorly coded Python! -- Take a recipe. Leave a recipe.
