IMO, the design difference between Ruby and Python sites have a lot to do with the people involved. David Heinemeier Hansson's early design and marketing sensibilities and effort on Rails initially IMO had a lot of influence on the entire Rails ecosystem. I don't know if he's still involved in designing the RoR site or not, but it still looks and feels like his work. For all of Guido van Rossum's great ideas and skills, I don't think he ever cared about design and marketing to that same extent as DHH did.
