There's nothing about Python, compared with Ruby, that gives it any advantage, numerics or otherwise. Ruby's C ffi is just as powerful as Python's. It's all just a first mover phenomenon. Python is the VHS of programming languages.

Community matters. In this case Python community around data science is huge.

PHP, JS and Python all have great communities but they're still crappy languages.
