|backgroundinfo=A [[Svarog Heavy Industries]] SI-MT Military Instructor model. The SI-MT is a military trainer Doll whose development was spearheaded by Svarog Heavy Industries. When this model was first designed, Svarog went through special channels to invite retired military leaders as consultants, as well as collecting battle history in the public domain to build the SI-MT's exclusive knowledge base of warfare. In addition, Svarog also wrote a full suite of self-learning systems with respect to combat missions, in the hope that it would improve the model's performance when handling varying situations after being rolled out. SI-MTs are harsh, but their methods are effective, and their macho appearance has its own unique appeal. Most orders for them come from the military as well as some civilian PMCs, where their primary role is to train up military personnel (Dolls and humans alike). After serving his term in the military, Python was sent to take part in [[Project Neural Cloud]]. "Some actions and perceptions take root in our Neural Clouds, and not even deleting or changing our data can remove them. These are the scars of war, and they are indelible."<ref>[https://m.weibo.cn/status/4706768884860637 Reveal post]</ref>

|trivia=*Python is canonically named after the character Snake from the ''Metal Gear Solid'' video games series. His designers also considered the names Viper, Mamba and Cobra, as well as Fischer, from the main protagonist of the ''Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell'' video games series.<ref>{{cite|pnc|Quenching Operation, [[PNC Story/Quenching Operation/Nodes#Challenge Stage|Stage 1 Nodes]]}}</ref>
**The glasses Python wears in the Valentine CG are similar to Ray-Ban Aviators, which are associated with the Metal Gear Solid character Kazuhira Miller.
*During his time as instructor of the human-Dolls mixed unit in Krasno, the human soldiers nicknamed him “Old Ironsides”, a nickname of the warships HMS ''Britannia'' and USS ''Constitution''.<ref>{{cite|pnc|Quenching Operation, Stage 3-2}}</ref>
*When Instructor Python stripped {{hero name|Evelyn|guard|3}} and Erwin of their roles as platoon leaders, he dubbed them the "Garbage Collectors". This appears to be a pun on the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_collection_(computer_science) garbage collection] process in computer programming, since this process is a core feature of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language) Python programming language].<ref>{{cite|pnc|Quenching Operation, Stage 2-3}}</ref>
