I tried to port PrettyPatch.rb to Python in�https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43617�in order to remove Ruby dependency for many developers and buildbots. �However bdash objected it.

I agree that having to install Ruby, Python, and Perl is a burden for many Windows developers but most of us use Mac / Linux for WebKit development anyways.
