Are you saying Ruby is somehow easier than Python? A novice can pick up 
the gist of Python in a day. How easy can it get? Ruby doesn't really 
offer anything over Python, and Python has a larger set of modules & a 
larger user base. I can't see any reason to pick Ruby over Python 
myself. Also the "whitespace issue" is a non-issue for actual users of 
the language as it (pretty much) just enforces good indentation style 
[aka readable code].
