What's better about Ruby than Python?

There is a thread over on c.l.py on this subject.

It's generating orders of magnitude more heat than light. Jeremy Dillworth's post, though, is well worth a read. Certainly nothing here is going to convince me to switch over, but there are ideas here that Python could steal.

Python's way of defining static and class methods is nasty, I have to admit. The Python developers are looking at fixing this, but for the moment, Ruby is prettier here.

Ruby's operator overloading syntax also looks very nice.
