"Screentime!"

Python is Silent's male Ekans hatched from an egg given by Fool. He is a young and annoying Pokémon that expresses himself mostly by hisses, but also by code_snippets, much like Lua. Tends to wrap around the arm of whoever is holding him and demand for screentime. His Ability is Intimidate.

As what happened with Shahinne, Python's egg was being held by Dintel when the Ekans hatched. While most of the other Pokémon were happy at the birth, Dintel resented Python for breaking the egg (which he had taken care of for weeks).

Lenore and Lua were the first Pokémon outside of Silent's party that Python met. Python and Lua are both hatchlings but have a somewhat rocky relationship that might have to be measured in SLoC or in a benchmark.

Python is named after the programming language and based on the Ekans Silent's RL player captured in his Soul Silver run.

Being a Johtoan (or Hoennese?) Ekans, Python doesn't exactly get the same dialect as Sinn Ekans do, as shown when he fails in trying some diplomacy with wild Arbok in the Great Marsh, thus getting himself and Silent captured by the tribe of wild Pokémon (Ichtacya later gets caught as well). He tried to parley with them on behalf of Silent, but things didn't go well for him, then he tried beating them at a card game (or at least an Ekans's version of that) but ended up losing as well. Finally he was able to convince some Arbok and Ekans of the colony to let themselves be moved to one of the PEFE habitats.

Silent kept Python out of harm's way during the Orre Arc, in particular after what happened to Maekrite; however he was brought in for the final confrontation with Cipher's main body, where he and Dintel protected Silent from direct harm, and will remain with him during the postgame.
