In my experience, rails has a better community and gems are plentiful. Python is great for certain things, especially larger infrastructures and applications that run outside of a web request cycle.
Rails, once learned, is so fucking fast at developing applications it should be illegal.
Right tool for the right job, for sure. Generally, rails works great for web apps and is releasing versions faster than companies can keep up with it.
I highly recommend rails. Django code base is a mess the last time I looked at it and rails has more industry cred and can get you out of client work and into product development easier. Just my experience anyway.
