Python is now the most popular programming language in the world. It holds the top position in the TIOBE Index with a 22.85% rating, surpassed JavaScript as the most used language on GitHub in 2024, and according to the Stack Overflow Developer Survey, saw the largest single-year adoption jump of any major language in 2025, up 7 percentage points. More than 1.19 million job listings on LinkedIn require Python skills, and 42% of global recruiters actively seek it. That adoption reflects what Python genuinely delivers: a language that handles web development, REST APIs, data engineering, and AI integration equally well, with frameworks that keep complex applications maintainable over time. When you hire Python developers from KiwiCommerce, you get UK-based specialists who build properly on current versions, with the right framework for the job.
Python's range of use cases means the businesses hiring our Python web developers are genuinely varied. From SaaS products and eCommerce backends to data dashboards and API layers for AI-powered applications, our Python development services cover the full span of what the language is actually used for in production.
Get In TouchDjango is used by Instagram, Pinterest, and Disqus at scale because its batteries-included architecture handles complex web applications without requiring a framework to be assembled from parts. Our dedicated Python web developers build Django applications properly: with the ORM used correctly, the admin layer configured usefully, and the application structured to remain maintainable as it grows.
FastAPI is the fastest-growing Python web framework in 2025, used by Uber, Microsoft, and Cisco for high-performance, async-native API development. It is particularly well suited to APIs that integrate with data pipelines or AI models. Our Python API developers build FastAPI and Django REST Framework APIs that are documented, validated, tested, and structured for the traffic they will actually receive.
When Shopify, Magento, or WooCommerce do not fit because of the product logic, order workflow, or integration architecture, is too specific, a Python backend built on Django or FastAPI is the right answer. Our Python development company brings both Python expertise and direct eCommerce domain knowledge, which produces better decisions about catalogue structure, payment handling, and order state management than a generic Python team.
Python is the dominant language for data science, machine learning, and AI integration. not because of marketing but because the libraries NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn, and the API layers for large language models are simply better in Python than anywhere else. Our Python developers build and connect the web application and API layers that make data and AI capabilities available to real users in production.
Python is a general-purpose, high-level programming language first released by Guido van Rossum in 1991. It has been under continuous active development since, with Python 3.13 (released October 2024) and Python 3.14 (released October 2025) as the current actively maintained versions. Python 3.9 reached end of life in October 2025 and no longer receives security patches. Python 3.10 is in security-only mode and reaches end of life in October 2026. If your application is on Python 3.9 or earlier, it is a security risk and needs upgrading.
Python's language design prioritises readability and reduced boilerplate. That clarity makes large Python codebases cheaper to maintain over time compared to more verbose languages, and it is one of the primary reasons Python is the first choice for teams building products that need to be worked on consistently by multiple developers. Python 3.13 introduced significant performance improvements, including an experimental no-GIL (free-threaded) mode and a new JIT compiler framework, and 3.14 continues building on that performance trajectory. Python is no longer just a scripting language or a data science tool it is a serious production-grade backend language.
The three frameworks that matter most for Python web development are distinct enough to require honest framework selection rather than a default:
2+ Experience Years
Works on clearly scoped feature additions to existing Python applications under senior oversight. Understands Python fundamentals, basic Django or Flask conventions, simple ORM queries, and form handling. Writes readable code against a defined specification within an established project structure. Not suited for architecture decisions, performance investigations, or working on a greenfield application without close guidance.
5+ Experience Years
Owns complete Python features independently, from database model design through to view logic and API endpoint. Proficient in Django or FastAPI, Django REST Framework or FastAPI's validation layer, SQL query optimisation, Celery for background tasks, and basic caching with Redis. Writes tests for the code produced. Works independently on mid-complexity Python web applications and integration projects with appropriate judgement about framework and library selection.
7+ Experience Years
Architects Python applications for long-term maintainability and production scale. Deep knowledge of Django's internals, FastAPI's async patterns, database performance tuning, caching strategies, deployment with Docker and cloud infrastructure, and the testing discipline required to keep a large Python codebase reliable. Makes the architectural decisions that determine whether a Python application stays manageable three years after launch or becomes a liability requiring a rewrite.
5+ Experience Years
A Python developer assigned consistently to your web application on a retainer basis. Builds institutional knowledge of the codebase over time, understands why each part of the application was built the way it was, and develops new features faster and more accurately as the engagement progresses. The dedicated model is most effective for Python applications with an ongoing development backlog where briefing a new developer repeatedly is inefficient and introduces risk.
5+ Experience Years
Combines strong Python backend skills with Django, FastAPI, or Flask, and frontend proficiency in JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and typically React or Vue.js. Builds complete web applications where backend and frontend are developed by the same person or under unified technical direction. Reduces the coordination overhead between separate backend and frontend teams on applications where the two layers are tightly coupled.
4+ Mixed levels
For larger Python projects requiring multiple developers working as a coordinated team. We assemble Python development teams covering backend Python, frontend JavaScript, database work, and technical leadership. Our Python development company service for agencies means the team operates fully under your brand, attending your client calls and producing deliverables in your name with no reference to KiwiCommerce.
