How to caption a listing(?) environment, custom Python syntax highlighting environment

Question

I am using this answer to add syntax-highlighted Python snippets to my document

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{newtxtt}
% Custom colors
\usepackage{color}
\definecolor{deepblue}{rgb}{0,0,0.5}
\definecolor{deepred}{rgb}{0.6,0,0}
\definecolor{deepgreen}{rgb}{0,0.5,0}
\usepackage{listings}
% Python style for highlighting
\newcommand\pythonstyle{%
  \lstset{
    language=Python,
    basicstyle=\ttfamily,
    morekeywords={self},              % Add keywords here
    keywordstyle=\bfseries\color{deepblue},
    emph={MyClass,init},          % Custom highlighting
    emphstyle=\bfseries\color{deepred},    % Custom highlighting style
    stringstyle=\color{deepgreen},
    frame=tb,                         % Any extra options here
    showstringspaces=false,
  }%
}
\lstset{literate={µ}{\textmu}{1}}
% Python environment
\lstnewenvironment{python}[1][]
  {\pythonstyle\lstset{#1}}
  {}
% Python for external files
\newcommand\pythonexternal[2][]{{%
  \pythonstyle
  \lstinputlisting[#1]{#2}%
}}
% Python for inline
\newcommand\pythoninline[1]{{\pythonstyle\lstinline!#1!}}
\begin{document}
\begin{python}
µ = 5
for f
\end{python}
\end{document}

I would like to caption it, similarly to how tables or figures can be captioned.

I've tried

\begin{python}[label=code1]
do_some_code = []
\end{python}
\captionof{lstlisting}{This is how some code was done}

it looks good, but gives the warning "\captionof outside box or environment" so I am wary of it being unreliable or breaking as the document gets more complex.

I have also tried as suggested

\begin{python}[label=code1,caption={This is how some code was done}]
do_some_code = []
\end{python}

but this places the caption above the code which is undesirable.

I would like the caption to be placed underneath the code.

Answer 1

Sometimes, reading the manual helps. Section 4.3.8 is devoted to captions and shows

You can therefore set the caption position for every listing having a caption by doing

\lstset{captionpos=b}

in the document preamble.
