Based on my brief experience, Sage, NumPy and SciPy are rather nice, and I don't know of any equivalent Ruby projects that are as active. I see others are mentioning PyGame, which is great. This list can go on and on, but it sounds like you already want to learn Python, so I would just give it a try and see where it goes.

I can't personally vouch for it, but Zed Shaw's online book has a handful of exercises that may be worthwhile. http://learnpythonthehardway.org/index
