Unless of course you already know Python and want to learn Ruby next (or the other way around).

True that; but wouldn't you be better off learning a language that is a lot more different?

It depends on the purpose of learning said language. Are you learning to broaden your horizons to explore new paradigms and such? Or are you learning a language because you're part (or planning to be part) of X group who happens to be developing in Y and you just need to be productive/marketable?
