I think a better question to ask is: "Do I know somebody who is proficient in this language that can help me learn when I get stuck?" A real life friend that will explain things to you when you need help is going to be infinitely more useful that an online tutorial.

Go with Python.

Yeah good point. I'm fortunate to know people from both Ruby and Python who would help. And each one has their own bias as to which one to learn. But you make a great point, a real life friend you can pester with questions is very helpful.
