If you enjoy writing scripts then something in devops might be best suited for you.
But to be clear, there is a lot more to know in devops than just Python, and you will not make money if you don't learn frameworks and libraries. This is because while it's possible, you won't get anything done in a timeframe that anyone will pay you for.
Learning Python and then not using frameworks is like saying "I like playing with glue, what can I make with JUST GLUE?"

- spicybright 5y agoCan you elaborate on the telephony part?
- dlivingston 5y ago> Learning Python and then not using frameworks is like saying "I like playing with glue, what can I make with JUST GLUE?" This is exactly it. The power of Python comes from exactly two reasons: - The syntax being easy, productive, fun, forgiving, intuitive, and readable - The immense volume of high-quality frameworks and modules So many fun and expressive languages have been lost to the graveyard of time, and often (usually? almost exclusively?) this is due to lack of a 3rd party ecosystem. Python is the Bash pipe operator of programming: it’s useful only in the context of where you’re piping from and to. But that usefulness cannot be overrated. (A follow-up: Python also has a well-defined C FFI which enables modules like NumPy and TensorFlow. This is a critically important part of the language, but I include it under the ‘frameworks and modules’ bullet)
