I'm a mobile & web & backend developer & startup founder, and I will strongly claim that mobile is the future and that web apps are dying. Backends are still ridiculously useful, but they're much more in the form of an API.

My recommendation to the OP would be to learn another language, and make that language Objective-C or Java (depending on what kind of smartphone s/he has), and practice building apps with Python backends.
