It means, that the package you try to install does not exist. Run

pkg_info -Q python

See FAQ https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html#PkgFind

you see something like (in my case it is already installed)

...
python-2.7.13p0 (installed)
...

You can also check the list of packages at
http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.1/packages/amd64/index.txt

So, try

pkg_add -v python-2.7.13p0

or, check the -z switch of pkg_add (man pkg_add)

pkg_add -v -z python-2.7.13
