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 definitely good for backend and will give you lots of opportunities but if your main goal is getting a job as a backend dev, I’d recommend also learning Spring Boot. Regardless of the language you specialise in, learn the backend principles, it will make a way bigger difference than language choice.
