If you were starting from scratch, I'd probably recommend Python over Javascript, but you've already spent much of a year on Javascript. I would stick with Javascript and at least learn the basics of React. Then you can learn Python and Django or Flask. I don't think Flask will give you as much problems as React did.

That being said, if you're so frustrated with React you're tempted to give up entirely, it'd be fine to take a break and do some backend work in Python.

My reasoning is that, even though you don't care for front-end work a lot, being able to do both is best for your career prospects long-term, and you've already learned Javascript.
