Just search Amazon... "aquarium pump"..."pond pump"... look for one atleast 1000+ Gph.. all depends on where to and from you are pumping water and distance... my 800 gph pump drains about 60 gallons in 10 minutes... but hasto travel 30 feet and a slight incline to bathtub... you'll want a high gph for a bigger tank so u dint spend an hour draining the tank lol.
Most places like home depot for example will sell flexible tubing $ per linear foot

I would then just fill the tank up with the python?
 
You don’t need to buy a python to fill from a tap. DIY plumbing parts, and potable water tubing, same as shown above. Filling from a bathtub has the potential of introducing surfactants, cleaning residuals, etc. Unless one never uses it for bathing/showering. This is actually the first time I have ever heard of someone filling their tank via water from a filled bath tub.

Always have... always spray out the tub from the tank water I'm draining and filled the tub.. never had a problem... my Jack's been with me 3 years with that water change method and seems healthy as can be... I also dont have sink or bath tap that has threads... sure can be changed out no problem if I throw some money on a new faucet... I know there are adaptors too but have heard they break easily and are a pain in the ass to put on
