Why is the fact the stacktrace is from Python worth of emphasis?

http://rubyurl.com/T29 points to:

http://rubyforge.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/highline/lib/highline/syste=
m_extensions.rb?revision=3D155&root=3Dhighline&pathrev=3D153http://rubyfo=
rge.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/highline/lib/highline/system_extensions.=
rb?revision=3D155&root=3Dhighline&pathrev=3D153

Which, if I put a newline before the second occurence of "http://", becom=
es:

http://rubyforge.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/highline/lib/highline/syste=
m_extensions.rb?revision=3D155&root=3Dhighline&pathrev=3D153
http://rubyforge.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/highline/lib/highline/syste=
m_extensions.rb?revision=3D155&root=3Dhighline&pathrev=3D153

Striking family resemblance between the links. To further support the
conspiracy theory, using one of the lines (pick which you like better),
points you to system_extensions.rb, a module encapsulating amongst other
thing platform-dependent character reading functions.

RubyURL doesn't tell you the original URL after conversion like TinyURL
does, which makes it easier to oversee a double-paste.

I was justifying (of sorts) what code in Python would be doing on
rubyforge.org - mildly baffled why someone would find the fact worthy of
stopping over and emphasising the find.
