The only request, that will be handled by your location with "=" modifier
is "/example", even "/example/" isn't fit.

Please note, that the "root" directive is almost meaningless in location
with "proxy_pass".

And you don't need "rewrite".

Something like that should work:

location /example/ {
include proxy_params;
proxy_pass http://python/;
}

Please also check the docs:

http://nginx.org/r/proxy_pass
http://nginx.org/r/location
