Rails or Django? (or something else?)

These are two web frameworks that are becoming (or have been in many circles) popular. I was wondering what are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Feel free to comment on Ruby and Python pros and cons also.

Two disadvantages I am speculative about for RoR is the scalability, since it still seems to be a disputable topic, and how turbulent the 'in' libraries are?

A: 

I have not playing with RoR or django but my friend told me that Django is better than RoR (he did in RoR for about a years and then switched to Django)

for scalability, hmm did you mean availability of libraries and stuff ? may be you can consider Jython or JRuby if you want to connect with Java libraries.

Watch Google Talk "Snakes and Rubies" on video.google.com. Core developers from Django and Ruby on Rails comparing these two frameworks. In better quality here

Er... That video only talks about Django. Is there a matching one for RoR that I just can't find?
