Government Until 1790 many different lords owned Saint-Python's lands and properties and had administrative power over the town. Notable lords included Claude Lamoral De Ligne, a nobleman, soldier, and diplomat from the Spanish Netherlands in the service of Philip IV of Spain and Charles II of Spain, who controlled Saint-Python from 1641 to 1679. On 3 February 1790, voters elected Mr. Duplessy, vicar of St-Python, as public prosecutor, but he refused. On February 23, Etienne Dambrinne was elected prosecutor but already held another office, so the function was given to Mr. Lernou, priest of St-Python. This first municipal act was recorded on a sheet of paper from St-Python's Marlier paper mill, decorated with a drawing of three fleurs-de-lis inside a circle.

The participation rate was 77.73% for the 2nd round, a decline in turnout of 1.68 points from the first round of the election. { "type": "FeatureCollection", "features": [ { "type": "Feature", "properties": { "marker-color": "#ADFF2F", "marker-size": "large", "marker-symbol": "town-hall", "marker-tile": "Saint-Python" }, "geometry": { "type": "Point", "coordinates": [ 3.483738899230957, 50.1907273523831 ] } }, { "type": "Feature", "properties": { "marker-color": "#90EE90", "marker-size": "large", "marker-symbol": "religious-christian" }, "geometry": { "type": "Point", "coordinates": [ 3.4838703274726867, 50.191010696387266 ] } }, { "type": "Feature", "properties": { "marker-color": "#4B0082", "marker-size": "large", "marker-symbol": "monument" }, "geometry": { "type": "Point", "coordinates": [ 3.482370972633362, 50.1890890759061 ] } } ] } Geography The town of Saint-Python is located in the department of Nord part of the Hauts-de-France region.
