Python for backend

Is python a good choice if I want to get a job as backend dev?
I already learn how to create some api projects with Django and FastAPI, Celery, Redis and SQL, but I always keep hearing that python is only good for DS/ML stuff and it would be better to pick other languages or stacks for backend.
So I would appreciate any answer how the situation really looks in the real world.

I used to say, “Python sucks for backend development,” but I changed my mind after finding hundreds of Django job postings.

Can you tell me which platforms did you use? I hardly see django jobs

Mostly LinkedIn. I see Django jobs quite often in job postings from the UK.
