Been thinking about Python vs Ruby lately. I dread reading other people's Ruby code (eg. if there is a problem in a library I'm using) but I don't have that same dread reading Python code. Now if Python had blocks and RubyGems then I would never give Ruby a second look.


What does RubyGems provide that isn't covered by pypy/eggs? I thought ruby and python packaging was approximated feature parity here (which is to say, both leave something to be desired, but work quite well).
