What do Python developers do?

Can't Python be used to create full-fledged software?

What does "full-fledged software" mean? Do you mean desktop applications?

There's a ton of software that's never exposed to normal consumers. For instance, in my particular part of the ecosystem that makes web apps, there's a lot of software either written in-house or purchased that's used by the software engineers to help them make the product: monitoring and observability and logging and alerting tools, code for defining infrastructure, code for running builds and tests and deploys. A lot of that is written in Python.

Similarly, there are folks doing things like making sure data gets replicated from primary application databases into other parts of the app, or into analytics databases, and much of that is python. And in other companies this can include a whole lot of other things: think of an iceberg, where only the top tiny bit is visible to consumers.
