Im looking to write a new application in ruby/python which uses a feed from bloomberg and am stuck trying to find any documentation for using (or even setting up) Bloomberg Server API with either of these languages.

Does anyone have any good links to tutorials for this or maybe some boilerplate code to get set up? Or is it best to just stick to the three main supported languages?
