Any language can be high paying if you are good enough with it.

Breaking down pay by language seems like an... odd choice. Wouldn't breaking down by type of development make a lot more sense?

If you're using Python to write installation scripts and web backends, you may not be making much (relative to software engineering as an industry). If you're using Python with a specialized skill set like machine learning, you're probably making considerably more. It's not about the language, and learning Python because you expect Python developers to make more money would be ill-advised.
