From Ruby to Python?

[Michael Mabin]

I kind of went the other way.  I knew some Python and then learned Ruby.  I
found that the two languages were similar enough that I didn't really need a
Ruby for Python programmers help doc.  There's not much of a paradigm shift
(except for the whitespace and indentedness of Python) going from one to the
other.  Of course, I had done quite a bit of Perl too.

Ruby does have a little of the Perl spirit of 'There's More Than One Way to
Do It'. And you do need shift to Python's 'There's Only One Way To Do It'.
