python is a scripting language...comes with OS X by default. But from your screenshot alone, it doesn't reveal what python is doing. Try this thread and see if anything there helps. Probably just killing the process is fine, but if you really want to know what's going on, the linked thread suggests some ways to do so.
Python just stopped randomly and then my fan stopped running for the first time in like 40 hours lol
