Python vs Ruby

[Amol Vaidya]

Hi. I am interested in learning a new programming language, and have been 
debating whether to learn Ruby or Python. How do these compare and contrast 
with one another, and what advantages does one language provide over the 
other? I would like to consider as many opinions as I can on this matter 
before I start studying either language in depth. Any help/comments are 
greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.
