can you put a regular garden hose as the extension to the python? from the looks of it it may be possible. Has anyone tried this?

Yes. The python kit even comes with the right kind of garden hose/faucet connector you would need.
Yup, we have and it works well, we have a 75g in the upstairs master bedroom and 3 tanks in the basement family room, with the kitchen tap/sink on the main floor so a garden hose was necessary. We used standard hose connectors that we purchased in the garden center of Canadian Tire.
I used clear acrylic tubing from Home Depot. If you go that route consider the tube wall thickness. The connectors were a little tight for the thickness I got but I made it work.
Some would probably add the ol' "make sure the hose is safe for drinking water' line. I can't imagine infrequent use would be a big problem but there are many things I do on my tanks that people would well... thats a different thread

yes the fitting is the same.
when I repair my python I just use parts from the garden ctr.
