Ask HN: Why Python over Ruby?

I'm not convinced that's true, as the depth and quality of rubygems are inferior to the depth and quality of eggs available in python. Find me e.g. a "gem install scipy" equivalent for Ruby.

However - "easy_uninstall scipy" REALLY needs to work!

My point precisely. I was referring to the package management system being better, not necessarily the packages available.

I believe the parent was referring to the rubygems system, not the quality of the gems themselves.
