To offer a slightly different perspective than just "ecosystem", I learned Ruby a few years after Python, and found it kind of annoying, in that many Ruby programmers tend to invent their own DSLs and little hacks because the language is so flexible. I know many programmers love Ruby for class_eval, but it really makes codebases hard to read, and code is read more than it is written. Python has honestly had some opportunities to die out (2->3 transition, type hinting missteps, incredibly slow, etc.) but survived because writing extensions was always easy and it was taught a lot in universities.
