I've watched a show on Discovery about that - originally the asian pythons are not native for the US territory. These are usually runaway pets, or let in wild by the owners, for they cannot support or take care of them. The pythons along with many other reptiles these are threat for the other animals, who live there. Australian lizards, poison snakes, anacondas - these are just part of the many species the people let. You have to admit that's pretty scary to see a python with a "full belly" like the one they killed. Either the people kill it ( if it's organization for saving the species they probably have a good reason to kill him) , or the winter and the low temperatures will do it.
