The way I see it - 1. Ease of use - Both are close but Python is just a wee bit ahead because its beautiful. 2.Libraries - Python wins 3.Frameworks - Its a draw if you have use for Django and RoR type frameworks. Python clearly wins if you need Pylons type stuff. 4.Scalability - Python wins. 5.Popularity - In sheer numbers Python is clearly ahead. I would suggest Python but I don't give a rats ass if you went with Ruby.
