Hi,

: Would it perhaps not be better to use Ruby ?

Not for me, for the following reasons:
a) I don't know Ruby well enough
b) Ruby is "even more" unknown in The Real World(tm) than Python
c) I think Ruby code looks ugly (what with @, #, $, no 'return' etc.)
d) I don't see any of the features Ruby has over Python as 'killer'
   features.

Regards,
