I've programmed a lot in Python before I started using NodeJS. Once I got over the shock of the tangled mess that can be written in JS, I found NodeJS + NPM very productive. I've never grokked Django well enough to use it in production.

At this point in your career I'd suggest polishing your Node / JS skillz and make yourself valuable to a potential employer. Being so-so with Python (or any other language) is not likely to increase your value in the marketplace.

If I were in your situation, I'd sooner look at Go or Rust than Python, but only once you are earning good money.

I always hear people suggesting Go or Rust, but I have never seen a job advertised (in Europe). Am I just looking in the wrong places?
Rust isn't even stable yet, so there are very few companies using it in production. The ones that are tend to be pretty exciting, though. :P
