Knowing both, they are very similar. Python seems to be more mature and 
has better support. Threading is easier in Ruby, while Python is more 
intuitive across the board.

I really like both, but it seems that you really can do more, easily, 
with Python. Very recently I was all about Ruby, then I rediscovered 
Python. It's really quite brilliant.
