You are expecting a program written in one language to return objects to a
calling program written in another language ... sorry to say, but it just
doesn't work that way.  It certainly would be nice, though, I have to admit.

The closest you are going to get is to get the python program to print out a
string of valid ruby code, make the calling ruby code somehow extract this
line of output from all the other potential lines of output the python
program might generate and then maybe eval it in the calling program.

Or maybe somebody has written some CORBA bindings for ruby?  Ha, ha, just
kidding ... ;)

Good luck ...
