What's the best Lisp for a Python hobbyist looking to learn?

Question

I vaguely remember toying with newLISP [1] almost a decade ago, but I'd like to start exploring the language again and write some hobbyist-level programs in it.[1]: http://www.newlisp.org/

Oh God, Newlisp. Don't worry about that. Start with Common Lisp. It's probably the most Pythonic in that it's built for building real applications in. SBCL is the open source implementation everyone seems to favor.
Runners up are Racket and Guile.
The "Lisps in Python" (like Hy and Hissp) are nice, but they're not very Lispy. More like Python with sexpr syntax. For Lisp on a Python runtime, I recommend Calysto Scheme for messing around: https://github.com/Calysto/calysto_scheme
It's slow, but it's full Scheme.

A good starting point might be Hy [0]. Its claim to fame is being a LISP embedded in Python.[0]: https://github.com/hylang/hy
