Learning Python from Ruby; Differences and Similarities

👻 Check our latest review to choose the best laptop for Machine Learning engineers and Deep learning tasks!

I know Ruby very well. I believe that I may need to learn Python presently. For those who know both, what concepts are similar between the two, and what are different?

I"m looking for a list similar to a primer I wrote for Learning Lua for JavaScripters: simple things like whitespace significance and looping constructs; the name of nil in Python, and what values are considered "truthy"; is it idiomatic to use the equivalent of map and each, or are mumble somethingaboutlistcomprehensions mumble the norm?

If I get a good variety of answers I"m happy to aggregate them into a community wiki. Or else you all can fight and crib from each other to try to create the one true comprehensive list.

Edit: To be clear, my goal is "proper" and idiomatic Python. If there is a Python equivalent of inject, but nobody uses it because there is a better/different way to achieve the common functionality of iterating a list and accumulating a result along the way, I want to know how you do things. Perhaps I"ll update this question with a list of common goals, how you achieve them in Ruby, and ask what the equivalent is in Python.
