This problem looks like could be solved with specialty drones.
Dropping poison? A python is a pretty big thing to kill some other way with a drone.

#14So, finally learned what PEP stands for. It’s Python Elamination Program, which is “not currently accepting new python removal agents” (https://www.sfwmd.gov/our-work/python-program)
I’m mentioning that because that page has a few strong contenders for the “meaningless graph of the year” award. Did you know that the total length of pythons eliminated was over twice the maximum depth of the Grand Canyon or that their weight was less than that of two male African elephants?
So, if you take a male American elephants weight of pythons stupid enough to be hunted and place them head to tail, you can make a rope that allows you to abseil the Grand Canyon.

#15The solution is really easy. You just need to pay people for each dead python that they bring in.
And problem solved.

With some duct tape and a machete, you could try to hack together some python to make a drone that tries to hack pythons.
If we're giving in to the whole 'Let's build lethal killer drones' thing, it seems appropriate that it happens in the USA from someone's hacky python project.
