No, the Burmese Python is not poisonous: it bites on to its prey with back-facing teeth, then wraps its body around the victim until it dies from suffocation, it is then swallowed whole.

Pythons (Burmese and otherwise) are constrictors ... like most snakes, they are descended from a venomous ancestor and still have toxin-producing glands, but the toxins in pythons are relatively weak and the snake doesn't produce enough of them to matter much.
