Ruby or Python (or Scala)?

I've already dabbled into Python and bought books, but I found its sytax too abstract (too much like pseudocode) and too strict.
Should I learn Ruby and Rails instead, considering that:
- I also want to learn Perl
- I'll use the language for webdev and general projects like games
- I have alredy some little experience with Python ?

I've also heard about Scala and the Lift framework, is it good?

Having said that, Python seems to have more demand than Ruby and is less fucking horrible than Perl.

Yeah, but Perl has native regular expressions. This in turn can result is some very fast and efficient matching operations over a very large set of data.
