The rails community (and by extension ruby) is generally more product focused, whereas the python community (and by extension django) are more science focused.

I intentionally ordered the language and the framework differently for each because most people who use ruby/rails, got into that community for the sake of the framework, whereas most of the people who use python/django, got into that community for the sake of the language.

Finally, python has a much greater adoption among in the academic world, so it's natural to expect that its community will have built more academic libraries like those you mentioned.

Node.js and Javascript are seeing adoption among those interested in real-time applications, evented systems and applications that bridge the chasm between the client and the server, so it is natural to expect that more libraries focused on problems within those domains.

One thing I like that I've seen from the node.js community is that the fact that they are developing with the same language on both the client and server, that they consider them one in the same. The only thing separating the two is latency and connection reliability. The latency issue is psychologically not much different than having a bias for doing things in memory and avoiding disk IO server-side. The lack of connection robustness is likely to evolve into solutions that mirror the problems that the erlang/OTP community has spent a lot of time solving.

The ecosystem around languages are heavily influenced by the strengths and weaknesses of the communities that adopt them, and the community that adopts them is largely the result of which problems that language is well suited for either by language design or historical coincidence (e.g. Javascript is in the browser)
