Thanks,

I think the main difference is in culture, especially for *introductory* programming. For example, I have the impression that Rubyists like to write the same thing in as many ways as possible (example: rubyquiz.com), Python prefers one obvious way; this (arguably) makes Ruby more writable and Python more readable.
