I found this application on the app store: iLuaBox and I wondered if there was anything else like this for the iPhone without jailbreaking but instead for Python or Ruby?
Lua is probably similar for me to play around with the basic programming I do anyway but I thought I would just ask)
iOS does not have Python pre-installed, so you'll have to embed a copy of Python within your app. Additionally, iOS apps can't run arbitrary secondary processes, so you'll have to run the Python interpreter inside your app's process. That's quite possible, but it involves a good understanding of the Python runtime.
Thanks to RubyMotion, your Ruby developers can write iOS and Android apps, today.
A python interpreter App called Python for iOS is available on the App store:

Full disclosure: I am the sole creator/developer of the Python for iOS App.
The Agreement about Apple not accepting any coding language layer has been removed not too long ago.
I guess we will have to wait a little to see complex language like Python and Ruby interpreter.
Since Lua is a scripting language, it is easier to port it.
