ok, many responses, all very good and reasonable, but i guess my point is
kinda missed so i'll explain deeper...

here is an awesome kludge of a program i wrote last night:
https://gist.github.com/1133359

 yes it's ugly, and yes it's horrible, but it's not meant to be used for
anything more than what it was used for (which is quickly converting python
to ruby, and give kinda workable results most of the time, and since it's
simply single file programs that i was going to edit & fix later, i'm not
worried as to how ugly the translator is, or the translation, it just did
90% of my work for me)

look at the strip_python_loads method, that is the *best* way i can come up
with at the moment.  yes i know there are better ways (to write this and the
entire program) but what are they?  if i wanted to edit the contents of an
array while iterating through it how do it do it besides that?  like i said,
a method such as each! which will allow you to modify the receiver would be
nice...

p.s. oh, and if you want to fork & edit that gist to make it prettier & more
useful feel free to do so!
