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?
