As far as you like what you are doing you will get good work. Remember tools/technology/language is one part of solution that we are proposing to solve a engineering problem. So i would suggest you to look at engineering problem that python has solved so far and then see if that space is existing enough for you. Some of the engineering problem could be System programming, Scientific programming, Graphics, System administration, Web application development, Distributed Computing, Scalability, Desktop applications, Middle ware technologies, Storage, etc ... FYI i know that google's infrastructure engineering team has extensively used python (for couse this might change), yahoo use's lot of perl. Lot of scientific computing groups uses python, redhat package manager manager is based on python (there are some c/c++ binding in some cases), rpath is fully based on python, mercurial a DCVS is developed in python, lot of rapid application development framework is in python. Jython is extensive used in writing unit test cases, etc. python has also inspired other scripting languages (eg: groovy) I my opinion tools doesn't define a company or companies using python (or any other tool) will not say that am using such and such tool or languages..... according to engineering need one decides the tool/languages. So if you are happy learning python and can solve some problem that we face day-to-day am sure you land up in a decent job. keep hacking !
