My experience (i.e. anecdote) is that python programmers are more likely to work as consultants/freelancers, rather than in permanent jobs.
C developers, by contrast, are more likely to stay at the same company for 5 or 10 years.
Where I am (London), the demand for python skills is immense, even by tech-job standards. It's possible that there is a falling-off of demand elsewhere, of course.
