Question How Do I Convince My Woma Python That I Am Not Food?

Ophelia, my juvenile woma python, has been home about 2 weeks now and is eating well. So well, in fact, that she would like to eat me. I wash my hands before handling her to get any scents off, so maybe I just smell tasty. I pick her up and she promptly begins constricting my hand. Then she slowly and deliberately opens her mouth and makes a move to bite and presumably swallow whatever part of my hand is conveniently close. I use my other hand to get a hold of her neck and restrain her, but the second I let her go she's at it again. I have half a mind to just let her bite me. After a few not so fun minutes she should (I hope) realize that I am not edible and let go, and should (I hope) not try it again. Python bites suck. I'd rather not. Any other ideas?
