well, as long as the choice is between ruby and python I don't really care. Each has its strengths and weaknesses but they are both pleasant language to write things in. Developer time is worth more than CPU time but I think that Python and Ruby would have to be at about the same level in terms of developer productivity (I use both Python and Ruby but I use Python a lot more than Ruby so maybe there is some Ruby magic that I'm not aware of that would make it MUCH more productive).
