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.
