As a guy who uses a lot of languages and having started on C-like languages I appreciate Python in that it doesn't make me work terribly hard to get what I need to get done. I'm far from a Python expert cause I don't use it exclusively. In spite of all that, it's pretty intuitive, reads like pseudo code. Plenty of data types and packages to get the job done. The few times that I've touched Ruby, however, even though it's succinct and beautiful language, I always have to find myself relearning its super object oriented centric paradigm. Everything takes 2-3 times as long to achieve and, arguably, not that fast a language either. I suppose if i worked on web app project exclusively, maybe Ruby might be my language of choice, but I don't. I'm sort of a jack of all trades master of none position (but that's ok cause in my particular situation I get paid pretty well for it). So that's why I prefer Python at the moment.
