I don't know about that.  I've seen a lot of indications, during my
on-again/off-again subscription to ruby-talk over the last few years,
that many of the members of this community have a fair bit of respect for
Python the language.  I personally find Python eye-stabbingly hard on my
aesthetic sense and programming preferences, but even I think Python is a
good language.  It's just not a good language for *me*, and I suspect
that's what many Rubyists here think as well (though maybe a little less
vehemently than me).
