rattler has infernos cover and the rocket core which I think was in the twisted fury and the python has the enmition cover with a python core over all I think the rattler will be stronger but the python will go longer

B'wick said there was a minor tweak to the core. Often the color will prevent the selling of a ball.

The Rattler has the Activator pearl coverstock and a low RG Rocket core.
The Python uses the pearl Enmotion coverstock used on the Twisted Fury Pearl, but the Python core is a modified version of the original Inferno core.

Brunswick says the Rattler goes longer with a sharper backend and slightly more overall hook. The Python has a more arc-ing type breakpoint.

My friend's Rattler is rather smooth and barely begins to cover medium oil. It's much better on medium-light oil and he has more than average revs & slower than average ball speed. His hitting power with the Rattler is better than average. BTM's reviews also said the Rattler was a fairly even reacting ball. Both seem to differ from Brunswick's opinion.

Python use the Maxxx core and Smash cover.

Gerald, I am drilling up the new toys on Monday, come in Wednesday I'll let you know how good they are, or better yet you can throw mine.

Python is similar to the Smash Zone. The small tweak is going to give the ball a slight "hit" near the back end and possibly a little distance, rather than the hard roll that the Smash Zone and it's ultra-low RG core gave us. I had to "rico" my Smash to get that perfect roll I was wanting from it.  With the python, I don't picture needing to do that.

Having tested all the new Brunswick releases yesterday night, I can tell you:

Rattler: More defined breakpoint shape, potentially more overall hook.

Python: Similar overall length, but with a slower/longer transition at the backend, making for a more "rolly" move. For me, it let me close my angles and not have to give the ball away as much.

I have both the Rattler and the Python.  Both are drilled with the pin 5" from PAP, above the fingers, no XH, and both are in box finish.

For me, the Rattler starts up several feet earlier, with a smoother transition into a moderate arc, much like the original Inferno did for me, and like the Zones of the mid-to-late 1990s.  On the same condition, the Python pretty much ignores the first 30 to 35 feet of the lane before going into a harder arc.  On that condition (fresh THS on a horrible surface), the Rattler was about two-and-one to three-and-two stronger overall, but I could get deeper with the Python without losing recovery.

Also, for me, the Python seems to transition quicker and more smoothly off of the end of the pattern than my Smash Zone.  I also had a bit of an inside limitation with the Smash  once I got past third arrow, I had to go to the bag for something that would pop harder at the break.  I don't have that problem with the Python.

Hope this helps.
