A large portion of Python work is for web.

Popular stuff includes Django MVC framework, Plone CMS etc..

Some sites known to use python:

Instagram (Django)
Pinterest (Django)
FBI (Plone)
UN (Plone)
Youtube (other)

HTML/CSS/JS client side still requires something server side.

Yes.

Google web crawler is supposedly written in Python.

A lot of sysadms that need to to significant scripting are
switching to Python.

Almost all languages can do almost anything.

But Python and Java are two very different languages, so you may
prefer one over the other for a specific case.

If you have real time requirements yes. Otherwise I think it
is very rare today.
