Personally, I don't dev much in either one except occasional python so I'm not an expert here (also probably python biased). But If I were to choose I'd go python because I know the PIL and pythonmagickwand libs are good. Plus python has a more extensive lib set ( in terms of areas i.e. systems, networking, etc) than ruby, and I would think getting Python programmers would be easier and cheaper than Ruby ones...
