The better question would be Python or Ruby. Because Ruby on Rails is a web framework and a DSL written in Ruby, not just a language.

Or ask Django or RoR ;-)

My programming skills increased dramatically while learning Ruby. Instead Rails, I've used Sinatra because Rails is heavily opinionated (unfortunately not my opinions). It then was pretty easy to pick up Python for some little management tools. But never websites stuff with Python.

To me it was the opposite. I find Python a easy language to learn and write. The first project I had with python was to create a browser turn based game like Ogame and it was so easy to do it on Python thanks to the verbose of the language. When I pick Ruby a bit messy, but that is just my opinion :)

Everybody is different :-) The meta-programming model of Ruby was what made me start to love the language. Ruby has terrible C like syntax shortcuts. I think I know what you mean by 'messy' :-)
