The short answer to this is yes. But there's a longer answer too :)
First off, it's not like you're going to be able to do:
class MyPythonClass(object):
def MyPythonFunc(self): pass
def MyRubyFunc
end
or anything like that. There's also no plans to support subclassing because
generally the type systems are just too different. But you can monkey patch
all you want. So you could do:
class MyPythonClass(object): pass
then in Ruby:
MyPythonClass.someFunc = someProcOrBlockOrWhateverThoseRubyGuysDo
And you could get crazy with metaclasses or other such magic to make this more
seamless.
The other part of the long answer is that this doesn't necessarily work today -
I'm actually not sure whether it does or not today. We're actually in the
process of finalizing the interop protocol right now and when that's done and
all the languages have adopted the new protocol we'll start testing this and
ensuring we have good interop.

Subject: [IronPython] DLR question
I have a DLR question and was wondering if you guys knew. We have a python
scripting system for our application. We would like to add iron python to it
as well. My question is can I define a ruby function and an iron python
function in the same class? That way they can write ruby functions and python
functions and they can all be bound with the same local variables and class
state etc.
