Instincts should kick in with no problem, but be SURE to supervise to prevent serious injury to your python. I doubt it should be to much of a problem, though. If you usually dangle the rat in front of the python, do this with the live one.
-Side note: frozen/thawed is much safer! If your worried about nutrition you can supplement it.

Make sure she is warm enough and you have an ultra violet light over her cage. Try thawing out the frozen mouse and then hold it with some long tongs and bounce it around in front of her, make it look alive. If that doesn' t work, get some pinkies and feed her them just to make sure she will eat
