I'm pretty decent at ruby, but only know a little python. :shrug:
The OP should try both for awhile. One striking difference I've found between the two are the communities. There's the python community, the ruby community, and the rails community, and they have vastly different memes and "tenor". One might fit the OP better than another.

- jamesbritt 18y agoThe JRuby community rocks. Charlie, Tom, et al are doing an amazing job, and the activity on#jruby on freenode is impressive. I don't know what it's like for Jython, but bugs get fixed fast in JRuby, and help is always available. If you're into Rails, deployment on Glassfish using warbler looks to be a snap (I've only tried some trivial examples). The seem seems to be true for any Rack-based Web app (though, again, I'm still short on deep experience, and have not gotten satisfactory results for Ramaze yet). For desktop apps, I (in my strongly biased opinion) think nothing beats JRuby + Swing + Monkeybars.
