Even doubling the salary is far less than what you’d pay in the US,

I'm certain there's plenty of Python programmers available in the United States for less than $200,000 per year.

    These python programmers are literally maintainers of the language. They're not a dime a dozen. Not saying it's impossible or anything but you're looking to get very high caliber engineers for under 140k
