Python will be more useful
if you decide to do something with the language other than ruby on rails. People do all sorts of very powerful math with it as well (SPSS, SciPy, NumPy and various other things).
ROR is NOT for those who are willing to just get it done. You have to be the type who's willing to find the right way, or risk things blowing all to hell on you (Off the rails, as they call it).
I'd also say, the devs you hire between the two schools seem different. Can't explain it. Django seems to win it for me, both on a scalability ease and learning curve.
(I work with both as backends pretty daily, iOS developer).
Ruby feels cooler, but IMO, python lets you go home and see your kids faster.
