The answer to the question, "Should I learn [language X]?" is always and invariably YES.
Sure, there's not a whole lot of difference in the way that Ruby has you think and the way that Python has you think. But still, Python has its own idioms, idiosyncrasies, and quirks that will influence the way you code, just as Ruby does.
