As an amateur plumber, I thought I should post my Python quick hook-up attachment.
I was concerned about wearing out the nylon threads of my Python. Putting/on removing the brass attachment to my faucet each tme, tightly enough, was also a concern. I decided to use a more permanent approach, without sacrificing on the look.
Both parts were purchased at the Home Depot, the total was around $13.
Faucet adaptor: MasterPlumber part ULN 407 (C.P. brass snap adaptor fitting)
or
MasterPlumber part ULN 412 (C.P. brass snap fitting adaptor fitting WITH AERATOR)
with
Python adaptor: MasterPlumber ULN 406 (C.P. brass dishwasher snap adaptor for 15/16" male and 55/64" female threads)
They were connected using Teflon tape.
It took 5 minutes to install! Added bonus: NO LEAKS on that joint!
I hope some you guys and girls will find this helpful.

awesome... are those parts readily available at Home depot or Rona?
I would guess that they are available at Rona, I bought these at The Home Depot: they are replacement parts for the portable dishwasher hook-up. I think any big hardware store...
I really like how it makes it so much easier!
I'm deffinetly going to try it since the plastic screw on adapter on mine is starting to get warn out from all the water changes.
Thanks for this!
Anyone know where to find those parts? Home Depot no longer sells Master Plumber parts.
Thanks,
Jeff
Try Rona
Love it :) Goin' out to RONA before my next water change !!!!
I got the equivalent parts at Home Depot, I will post the brand and part numbers when I get home from work. They look exactly the same as the master plumber ones and are cheap.

I actually just came back on to post that home depot would have to be carrying similiar or equal parts by another manufacturer.
I'm sure if you went into a home depot with your phyton adapter and explained what you wanted to do to one of the plumbing employees they'd be able to find everything you need.
I currently use these adapters from Lee Valley:

I have two laundry tubs that have garden hose thread on them, so I don't need any adapters. Makes it very convenient to clean tanks on different floors of my house. You can also buy the male and female parts seperately in case you have more accessories to attach.
