Don't discount Ruby as just being focused on Rails. I think the only thing which makes python more general than ruby is that python has a larger community than ruby does. There are GTK+ and Qt bindings for both languages. They are very similar languages and I prefer python to ruby solely based on the larger community around python. Re: Rails vs Django; I prefer Django because of the magic box complaint you have with Rails. I don't really feel that with Django although, of course, YMMV.
