I don't know much about Python, but . . . I have read about the feature 
set of Python over time and it seems like Python has added many 
features over the years to make it more like Ruby. Maybe they'll 
eventually become completely like Ruby :-)

I do believe that Ruby's implementation of object orientation is more 
pure than Python's implementation. I think this is important.
