Trying to use Ruby's cucumber with Python got the following error:

Assuming resolved with RubyPython 0.5+.

Can you try this with the latest version in hg? This should be resolved with the upcoming release of RubyPython, but it'd be nice to get some verification.

This is what I get for not reading the full post before I going to work. I made some changes that got RubyPython working in my Windows XP virtual machine with Python 2.7 and Ruby 1.9.2, but I see I approached it a different when than you did. If my changes don't work for you I guess we'll just merge the two until they do work. I guess part of it depends on how you installed python.
