Ruby or Python

I've had Java shoved down my throat for about 2 years solid at my skewl, and I'm finally fucking done with it. I also know a bit of bash and awk, but it's so little and so rusty that I can't even have a while loop of "HI2U" going.

So I'm looking at learning either Python or Ruby over the summer months. Which would be more suited for a Java kid?
