One of the "interesting" things I see in ruby is that people are happy to accept any suitable way of doing something, whereas in python there is general demand for more language or official support.

eg Ruby has no named params, no biggie, just use the convention that you pass around hashmaps, something like

foo :bar => 42 etc etc....

close enough for rocknroll. In python they wouldn't necessarily like that, and named params are available (I am just making this up, they could have been in there for the start, but my point remains...)
