The animal on the cover of
Programming Python
is
an African rock python, one of approximately 18 species of python. Pythons
are nonvenomous constrictor snakes that live in tropical regions of Africa,
Asia, Australia, and some Pacific Islands. Pythons live mainly on the
ground, but they are also excellent swimmers and climbers. Both male and
female pythons retain vestiges of their ancestral hind legs. The male python
uses these vestiges, or spurs, when courting a female.
The python kills its prey by suffocation. While the snake’s sharp
teeth grip and hold the prey in place, the python’s long body coils around
its victim’s chest, constricting tighter each time it breathes out. Pythons
feed primarily on mammals and birds. Python attacks on humans are extremely
rare.
