Can somebody give me an advice about what to learn?

[tcgo]

Hi!
I'm really new to Usenet/Newsgroups, but... I'd like to learn some new programming language, because I learnt a bit of Perl though its OOP is ugly. So, after searching a bit, I found Python and Ruby, and both of they are cute.
So, assuming you'll say me "learn python", why should I learn it over Ruby?
Thanks!
PS: I don't want to start a flame-war, I just want an advice if it's possible please!
