I think you might be happier with Ruby -- beyond a number of trivia, the
big difference between the two, from my POV, is that in Ruby you can
alter built-ins, in Python you can't.  Which is why I personally stick
with Python, but to anyone who mostly likes Python but believes he would
get better programs by modifying built-ins, I suggest Ruby.
