Check out the site for "Henry Piorun Reptiles". Though he breeds a variety of species, pythons and boas appear to be his specialty. I would reccomend him as an expert in the field.

What is it exactly that your looking to breed? There is the Papuan Python, Apodora papuanus, and the Water Python, Liasis fuscus. But there's nothing commonly called a Papuan Water Python. Of course this just shows the problem with using common names altogether!

The fuscus (probably to be changed) from Papua New Guinea are know as Papuan water pythons or New Guinea Water Pythons...Although I think he's refering to Apodora, An excellent reference would be Pythons Of The World by the Barkers. Although Apodora isn't covered, the husbandry is very similar to both olivaceous and fuscus.
