would have to agree that offering a Python a leg wont help if it is planning to eat you as it will just kill you first - constrictors all operate by killing their prey then trying to eat it, otherwise they would be at severe risk of an internal wound whilst chowing down. Even venomous snakes wait for the venom to kick in before they even start dislocating thier jaw.
If you are unlucky enough to have a big constrictor decide you are on the menu I would recommend you try and kill it, as much force as you can on the neck behind the head (try and use some sort of weapon). If it gets you wrapped up try not to breathe out too much and hope that someone saves you. It is much more likely that a big snake will try and bite you as a defence mechanism - although there is no venom the salmonella etc in their saliva could kill, so rinse the wound out immediately with the strongest booze you've got. Or medicinal alcohol.
Still, overall risk of any sort of snake attack is very low as long as you make enough vibrations. If you think there might be things lurking just walk heavily!
They are a bit like chicken, so don't waste it after you've wasted it!!
