I had a similiar experience myself actually. You should actually check out the R language if youre interested in scientific computing. Speaking of the python communittee i watched many videos from djangocon this year and was really impressed by the openness of the leaders of the project. Also django i think is rally starting to gain more momentum. Alot of very cool things going on with the framework and communitee..

From the article:

"I’ve already used Ruby at work to dramatically speed up some of our vaccine screens—for processing and summarizing data—but I’ve always had to pipe my numbers into R for statistics and graphing. Because unfortunately, despite all the hubbub around Ruby, no one is crunching numbers with it! I’m sick of R, though, and I want a complete solution for my numbers needs."
