I haven't read The Elegant Rubyist, and have nothing substantive to say
about it.  I do think that, coming from Python, a great couple books to
quickly get up to speed are:

1. Everyday Scripting with Ruby

2. Eloquent Ruby

. . . in that order.  That's in order of reading them, and not in order
of how much I like them.  The Ruby Way is also a great book, but I'm not
sure it is exactly the book I'd recommend for the question asked in this
case.
