seems interesting but I started clicking around, specifically in the Python section and this website seems to have been released too early, the text I am not sure is right(it says I need to use a ruby engine settings for python?) and some links don't work or give 404.

Yeah, if anyone from nanobox is reading, I found a broken link on the Node.js Engine page:

On page https://engines.nanobox.io/languages/nodejs the link for Create Custom Engine leads to a 404 on https://nanobox.io/engine-dev

Later it says you can specify which JS runtime to use with python:

  build:
    runtime: python27
    js_runtime: nodejs-0.12
    app_module: ''

The js_runtime is included because of the ubiquity of using tools like bower and gulp to compile assets, which require node.

That one's not unreasonable.

It seems I can't also specify a ruby runtime, though. What makes one reasonable and another not?

The mention of ruby in the description is a typo. There isn't a ruby runtime available in the generic python engine, but you're free to fork the engine and add the ruby runtime. All engines are open-source.

Thanks for the heads up! Please keep in mind this is an open-source project in the pre-beta phase. Any contributions are welcomed!
