$20K sounds like an underestimate by a couple orders of magnitude if you estimate a single year of full time work by one developer at $100K. Many mid-sized Python projects use libraries that I’d guess together represent somewhere between $2M and $200M in developer hours - depending on whether you’re using frameworks or just relatively simple libraries.
