I'd like to add that by going with Python, you'll also be able to develop for .NET. Check this out: www.ironpython.com . Since the development of Ironpython is now being funded by Microsoft, you'll get the best of both worlds: An already excellent cross-platform, object oriented language and a fully compliant .NET language for Windows and Linux (through Mono and DotGnu).
Unfortunately this is currently not near production use, and whether Microsoft is funding IronPython development is up in the air:
One IronPython fan noted a disconcerting silence in IronPython development:

Of course it'll all resolve itself one way or another eventually, just wanted to correct the impression that IronPython is ready to go already.
