on the skillset you mentioned i would like to suggest you to have a look @ OpenERP and try for customising it making modules of it and try to earn out of it from small business at your local places first its really very good for future prospects to enter into ERP services freelancing
If you wish to get into freelancing learn the following -
php5 , php framework ( cake/CI/symfony ), Javascript, JQuery , HTML and DoM and CSS2/3 . Learning Wordpress plugin/theme development is a shortcut to getting small work.
With the above skill set you will be able to apply for 90% of small project. Also try to do some projects and build a portfolio/website using ur own skills.
I am freelancer, so incase of more help needed just post back.

If you know python good enough, I strongly would suggest you make yourself sharp in one technology. Learning to be a jack of all trades is no benefit, trust me.
So if you are good at Python, you should enhance your skillset with Django.. but if you feel more inclined towards Ruby.. go for Rails
On a side note/off topic - Its great to see so many freelancers on this thread.. I am a freelancer from Mumbai. If its possible for us(freelancers, that goes out to all those who have written or reading this post) to meet .. please shoot me a PM with your contact info if you are interested.
Btw, I work only on .Net and javascript on frontend.. currently developing a software using the latest OpenXML SDK and customise the bleeding version of ExtJS

I think its best to stay away from Python and RoR for starters and best to start with PHP. PHP vs Other amount of work available difference is huge.
Python is cool but very less work available. As for RoR i did learn it and now see that most php frameworks also offer the same and more ( less work condition applies to RoR too ).
