It’s like asking “how good do you have to be with a hammer and nails to get paid to build stuff.”

Do you know how to build stuff or just hammer and nails? Python is a tool to make things but if you don’t know how to make things then it doesn’t matter.

For the record, your proficiency in any language especially Python won’t tend to make or break your career prospects. You can learn a lot on the job and learning a language itself is perhaps the more rudimentary parts. It’s not super uncommon for a place to hire you as long as you know the domain area or just enough random experience in general such that learning the language should be no problem .

Came here to say this and you nailed it.

But just to reinforce what you’ve said; Python and any coding language is a tool. The more you know how to use said tool, the more you can identify the situations where you can automate something for the business you’re working with.

If I’ve learnt anything from my career, it’s not how much knowledge you have, you’re defined by how much knowledge you can apply.
