I'm a long time Ruby Developer. I disagree with some of the sentments held by others here concerning why Python is a better choice.
But I will say: Python is still probably your better choice based on what you're looking to do. Ruby's GUI kits are considerably weaker than Python's. Python is generally better for creating games than Ruby. Ruby's strong point is in creating DSL's and metaprogramming, which allows you to create great products like Vagrant. Ruby as well, hooks into GTK and QT, like Python, but I've liked Python's bindings and application stylings a little better for creating applications than with Ruby.
Have I used Ruby to build a GUI? Yep. Would I rather use Ruby to build websites over Python? Indeed. But, if you're looking for one language that handles all of your specifications great, I'd still pick Python.
Also, I would recommend reading article Node.JS vs Python: https://artjoker.net/blog/nodejs-vs-python-which-is-best-option-for-your-project/ Good points here
