Not usually - unless it's a particularly large 'victim'. Normally, the python would simply constrict the rib-cage so the animal dies of suffocation (not crushing as is often believed). However, if the prey is particularly large, the python may anchor its tail round a tree etc to aid in subduing the potential meal.
