Pythons
Pythons are a family of non-venomous snakes that are native to Africa, Asia and Australia. Pythons are ambush predators that use constriction to kill their prey. Unlike female boas, female pythons lay eggs. Pythons are hunted for their skin, which is used, like leather, to make shoes, handbags and other fashion accessories.

The question what is the biggest snake can be confusing, the biggest as far as girth (largest being measured at 44 inches or 1,1176 m) is the Green Anaconda, on average anacondas are more then 20 ft (6.09 m) long with and average weight of 300+ pounds (136.08+ kg) many reaching lengths of 29ft ( 8.83 m) or more, with a weight of over 550 lbs ( 249.48 kg), in terms of length then and only then will the Reticulated Python exceed the anaconda, the longest python was measured at 33 ft ( 10.05 m) but even this python can't match the total mass of the anaconda.
Anacondas are members of the Boidae family of reptiles and spend most of their time in rivers and swamps of the Amazon Rainforest in South America which makes them excellent swimmers and are capable of holding their breath for around 15 minutes, female anacondas are generally 3 to 4 times larger then the males and bear their young live and are called "Neonates", the number of young varies, some have produced 100 babies, but the average is between 20 to 40 babies which are about 24 inches (0.6 m) long. Diet consist of (depending on the size of the anaconda, the larger the snake the larger the prey) large/small rodents like capybaras, also pigs, caiman, jaguars, deer, dogs, birds even fish and is acquired by ambushing with a quick strike, 100 rear-facing sharp teeth hold the prey while suffocating it with constriction, (the anaconda is so powerful it generally crushes it's prey) then swallowing it whole, the digestion of the anaconda is very slow thereby allowing it to survive without food for well over a year.
Anacondas have around a 10 to 12 year year life span in the wild, in captivity some have reached 20 + years, the biggest threat to it is man and loss of their habitat.

Code for sum of first natural numbers in python language?
For the first 5 natural numbers (integers):
x = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5
print x
For 'n' amount of natural numbers (Python v2 example)
n = int(raw_input('Enter max integer: '))
count = 0
sumn = 0
while count < n:
sumn = sumn + 1
count = count + 1
print sumn
Sometimes jaguars will eat anacondas, but normally they leave the snakes alone.
somethis jaujars beat eat anacondas depends how how big the anaconda is but normally anacondas eat jaujuars all of the time and also nothe that the anaconda is one of the most powerful aminal alive
Yes, anything which receives its nutrients from other sources, unlike plants(producers) which produce their own food, is classed a consumer. Since pythons are carnivores, not eating plants directly, they are usually secondary or tertiary consumers in a food chain depending on their main food source. If it were to eat insects(herbivores/primary consumers) the python would be secondary; if it were to eat rodents(omnivores/secondary consumers) the python would be a tertiary consumer etc....

Python is a widely used general-purpose, high-level programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be possible in languages such as C.++ The language provides constructs intended to enable clear programs on both a small and large scale...you can see whole thing on WIKIPEDIA or ...python.org.
Yes indeed a python can be big enough to eat a man and it has happened.
