PYTHON

Python is a reactivated Mister Handy repairman in HELIOS One in the year 2281.

Quests
In That Lucky Old Sun, Python may be utilized to repair the wiring and bring the auxiliary generator online. A Science skill of 45 or a Poseidon Employee ID badge (which can be found in a room next to a skeleton behind a locked door requiring 50 Lockpick to open) is required to activate it from its inactive state. If you have already repaired the generator by yourself, attempting to activate Python will result in a message saying there is nothing left in the room to repair.

After he's activated to repair the generator, he'll move towards it, repair it, and return to its inactive state besides the generator. He can then be attacked without any retaliation or repercussions for some easy XP and standard Mister Handy loot.

Appearances
Python only appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes

 * The name Python is a reference to the programming language Python.

Bugs

 * One of the problems with activating Python is that, if your Science skill isn't high enough, (45 or higher), he'll simply hover over to the auxiliary generator and will either be surged and short-circuited by the sparking cables, or will simply deactivate. If this happens, you will not be able to interact with Python, despite his health bar reading green. After you complete That Lucky Old Sun, he can be found restored in his depot with the "There are no more things for Python to fix" dialogue. This takes place despite whether or not you destroy Python whilst he is deactivated.
 * Python can be destroyed each time you enter the room, making it an easy way to farm scrap metal or complete certain challenges. It won't show up on the compass nor can you target it with V.A.T.S. Turning Python to ash or goo will destroy it permanently.
