We will report results from the second season of observations with Python, a system designed to search for degree-scale anisotropies in the Cosmic Microwave Background. The instrument, which has an array of four bolometric detectors in its focal plane, is sensitive to radiation centered at $\lambda = 3.3$~mm. Significant fluctuations ($\Delta T_{RJ,rms} \sim 70\mu$K) were found in the first seasons observations at the South Pole, January 1993. The same fields were reobserved during December 1993; we will report on the correlation between these two data sets. Additionally, results from a second set of fields will be given.
