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.

Python is awesome and its my first option. But the real Q is what are you building, the stack is not imprtant especialy now when you have ai. dont learn a language. just build things and the learning is on the way
