backend is a bit vague without a context around it.

There are currently 4 "pluggable" API in OpenSMTPD:

- tables
- queues
- schedulers
- filters

Each of these API respect a very specific interface which lets you write
your own custom table / queue / scheduler / filter which OpenSMTPD knows
how to talk to out of the box.

The native way to write backends is using the C language, however we had
python backends written for each API so that it is now possible to write
a table, a queue, a scheduler or a filter in Python.

So to answer you "what the python backend makes available" question:

It makes the API available to Python developers.
