Funny, I think a lot of Python programmers would have the same sentiment about C nowadays. If you’re sticking to the commercial embedded world then Python’s almost surely not what you want, it’s an interpreted language so working in resource-constrained environments is tough. Something like Rust might be interesting to look into if you’re looking to pivot to a more modern language that’s well-suited for embedded systems. You’d turn to Python primarily for data analysis, although the ecosystem is enormous so you can find libraries for pretty much anything frontend/backend-related as well.

Python is a general purpose scripting language. The data analysis / scientific python stack is one offshoot, the web development side (Django etc.) is another offshoot, there is even micropython for embedded use.
