But there wasn't anything in Python that I found compelling so I never came back.

As a scripting language, Ruby seems so much more compelling, despite it's friendliness seeming to doom it to eternal slow bugginess. I'd go back to Ruby before Python.

But I'm more likely to add Python support to an app I'm developing, since I know it's more sensible.

Python's functional aspects seem chronically undeveloped so leaving it for a real functional language makes sense. But functional approaches seem limited in the "real world".
