I have been using Python for about year for Google App Engine projects. I have been using Ruby for about two years for various personal open-source projects. I like both languages, but I prefer Ruby over Python. I hate Python's neglect (by Zed Shaw): http://www.zedshaw.com/blog/2009-05-29.html http://www.zedshaw.com/blog/2009-05-29.html Ruby seems to be so much more "symmetric", Python feels like a hack on top of dictionary to me.

What I will blame Python for is the lack of even the most basic time conversion features that even C has. If all they did was give me the exact same POSIX C API I’d be happy. Instead, I got some half-assed library and some half-assed rationale about why this is a better way to do it. Ermm, datetime.strptime and datetime.strftime?
