A python is a snake that can wrap around living animals and suffocate them by squeezing the life out of them. Then after the python is done killing it's food, it swallows the animal whole. It eats medium-sized animals like antelope, deer, cows, hippos rarely.

The (Asiatic) Reticulated Python (Python reticulatus) is a member of the Pythonidae family and has and average length of 15ft to 25ft however, it is possible for some to grow near 30ft with a weight of 300lbs; the largest was measured at 33ft; they can be located in Southeast Asia and can be found in the tropical rainforest's, a member of the Boa family the female can have as many as 100 eggs at a time (Average is 60 eggs) and the hatchlings are at least 2 ft (61 cm) length, life span of the python is 25 to 30 years. The diet consists of small mammals and birds, the larger the python the larger the prey which include pigs, dogs, cats and primates, etc., the python ambushes it's prey and suffocates the victim rather then crushing it, after swallowing the prey whole digestion takes many days to several weeks depending on the size of the prey.
Python can be several different things, it is a type of snake, and also a computer programming language.
