As with any market based pricing its hard to say whether the price is right or wrong. Because the real price is what the market will bear.
I will say, for the broad outlines that you've given that is a low compensation figure. And projecting a bit, I can probably figure out why. First you said yourself, that you don't value yourself much more highly than you are currently getting paid. Why should anyone else?
Secondly, the way you present your product (Python engineer) lowers the prestige/premium it should cost. First, but least importantly, because Python, in general, pays slightly less than other technologies. Second, and much more importantly, being a programming cog to be placed into a programming assembly line is much less valuable than being a business problem solver that uses and builds technology.
