Same here. I've turned down jobs because it's not worth the pain. I would take one if desperate, or if offered sufficiently more, but, but thankfully few places require much Python for the kind of jobs I'm interested in.

Ruby was fast enough for me to do what I needed with it already in the 1.8.x days. Every improvements since is gravy.

A handful of times over the last 16 years or so I've needed to dip into C extensions for the performance I needed; but in those instances Python wouldn't even remotely cut it either.
