You learn one, you can mess around in all. Go with either Ruby or Python, and you will be fine. I'd go with Ruby, because if you decide to do anything for the web then Rails (Ruby's web framework) is more beginner friendly than Django (Python's web framework).

Just as an anecdote, I found Django much easier to get started with than Rails.
What is your background, if you don't mind me asking.
PHP mostly, I'm a Drupal developer by day. I had no prior experience in Python or Ruby when I tried looking at Django and Rails.
