It is not overly difficult to do but there are quite a few things you need to make sure you get right. I suggest getting a good book and reading through all of the steps such as Keeping and Breeding Australian Pythons:
Books Available at the Herp Shop

I also recommend the Doc Rock articles on the SXR website. They go through breeding in detail. You should also consider what to do with the young. There is not a huge market for coastals unless they have particularly nice markings, so pick a very nice looking partner for her.
