Ok, awesome. And that's the same story as RubyGems. I've noticed that Python peeps are pretty big on "show me the code" anyway, but I think a lot of untapped potential is lost by not having a dead-simple distribution mechanism, as good as Python libs tend to be overall.
That's one thing I do like about Ruby; it wasn't always this way, but RubyForge + GitHub (Oh, GitHub!) + RubyGems combine to make for a very fluid feedback mechanism and make good use of The Cloud.
The result is that new libs get announced, distributed, tested, and improved by rabid Rubyists rather... rapidly.
