AFAIK, for a competitive backend programmers, besides C++/Java, good at least one script language(tool) is a must, let it be bash/perl/Python, etc... More and more people are picking up Python for this role, simply because it is more a complete package than its competitors.
I do agree with you, knowing ONLY Python is not really something to feel good at, but same thing can be said for any other programming language...
