I started out pronouncing it like the snake, in Dutch. This knowing
full well it isn't named after the snake, but it just came out easier
that way. That's 'peetohn'.

Before I went to the Python conference last january I started to train
myself so I'd say something at least resembling the way English speakers
pronounce it, and by now the transition to a Dutch-accented American
variety is complete.
