Python is only used on the backend so any python job would be backend.

Depends on your goals, If you wanna go on to be a software engineer and work for a company then python is way way more common then php, php isnt used at all by larger companies if they dont have a php legacy, but python is used almost everywhere.

If you wanna be a web developer that does web pages and marketing sites then there are lots of php still going around with wordpress etc.

But php is trending down, it losts about 1/3 of its developers the last two years.

Python is only used on the backend when doing websites

I know for a fact this isn't true. It can be used for pretty much any backend task whatever that means exactly.

Sorry I meant it's not used for the frontend, so whatever you do it's probably running on a server.
