Hi there 
On the topic of well water, it would depend on what is in your specific well. I know my well gives us a lot os sulfur and iron both, making plant growing a little difficult. In all likely-hood, if you can drink it your fish will be fine. It would be wise to check it for the three dangerous nitrogen compounds (nitrate, nitrite and ammonia) just to be sure. Also if you use a water softener it might be a good idea to use half water from you tap and half from a hose or other source that is not softened.
City water through a python, if left untreated for chlorine or chloramine, would harm your fish, yes. However as long as you treat the tank for the amount of water you are adding either before or at the same time you add it, the short exposure to the chlorine/chloramine would do negligible damage and is not of much concern.
Hope that helps

Prime conditioner is what a lot of us, including me, use. Aquarium Water Quality & Conditioners: Seachem Prime Water Conditioner
I don't think it was too much of a hijack- no worries.
Well fed houses generally have, in my experience, just as much pressure if not more than city water. It all depends on how the plumbing and everything is set up in the houses that makes the difference.
However I do not use a python, so I am unsure as to how my pressure would work with that.
As for Prime water conditioner, I highly recommend it as well- seems expensive to buy but it is by far the cheapest option I have cmoe across in the long run.
