Please, read AHD of PIE roots by Watkins, page 19: *dheubh-, also dheubh- 'deep, hollow': 4. Suffixed parallel root form *dhubh-(o)n, with expressive variants. Python, Typhon, from Greek Pu:tho:n and Tupho:n, mythical monsters, from *dhub(h)-n- and *b(h)ud(h)-n-, which already in Indo-European were doublets by inversion, referring to "bottom", "foundation", "depths" and the mythological monsters that inhabited them. Or, much easy follow the link http://www.bartleby.com/61/roots/IE101.html

No.  _Python_ drives from *bHeudH 'perceive', as in the **oracle** at
Delphi, with which the _Python_ was associated.  Another derivative is
'buddha', originally meaning 'enlightened'.
