Both languages have their strengths and weaknesses. I have a Ruby background and have been learning Python more recently. After years of "artisinal" Ruby with heaps of unnecessary metaprogramming magic Python seems nicer to me, but I'm senior enough to be aware of my perceptions not necessarily being reality.

The bottom line is that (A) the more languages you are proficient in the better and (B) as long as whatever problem you need to be solved is solved then the language doesn't really matter.
