Python is a great language and anything that Ruby can do Python can do as well.

So does ASM, and VB6. all languages can do the same (mostly, with some effort), the question is the developer, not the language. a good developer with a bad language can do more than a bad developer with a great language.

Sure, but besides some small design and stylistic differences, Python and Ruby are extremely similar, in almost every way.

Compare each to C, Haskell, Prolog, Lisp. They suddenly appear very similar.
