The ship I'm going to buy will be a Python.
I will not use the ship for PVE, but I will certainly be interdicted several times whenever I transport valuable cargo.
My question is: What is a good configuration that maintains a good load capacity and allows to escape pirate attacks?
Is it necessary to be equipped with hardpoints or is a good shield enough?
For example this configuration:

I fitted one of my Python for short-medium range armed transport, the second one is strongly biased toward mining.
I only have 20 tons of cargo available but strong shield and weapons and a decent jump range for what I want to do with it, which is supporting my Fleet Carrier buying Tritium or selling the minerals I can like the Bromellite and Low Temperature Diamonds I get with the Tritium I mine.
With any of those loads I get interdicted regularly and when I can't evade, I can kill the pirate unless it's a FDL perhaps, it's no problem taking down whatever come my way, Krait Mk2, Alliance Challenger etc.
It is not a fit for high load but support transport.
