As explained in the footnote in the Diaglott version, Python was the name of a false god believed in during the first century, possibly the same as the god Apollo. So Python definitely did not exist, but Luke does not say the girl was 'possessed with a spirit of Python, who, by the way, is a false god who does not really exist...'.
Mstari huu kama ulivyoelekezwa kwa maelezo machache chini ya kitabu chenye tafsiri ya Diaglott huyu kijakazi katika kufanya uaguzi alikuwa na chatu - huyu nyoka ameitwa Python - nalo lilikuwa ni jina la Mungu wa uongo aliyeaminika kipindi cha karne ya kwanza, yawezekana alikuwa ni sawa na Mungu Apollo.
