Here is a little DIY project since the bucket method is a time consuming hassle, and the real Python is a bit pricey (locally).
All of the parts are readily obtainable at your local hardware store. The pictures should speak for them self on assembly. The only part not visible is the PVC cement on holding the fittings to the pipe. the Nylon barbed fitting for the hose threads on with teflon tape into the PVC fitting.
Here is a step by step of how I use it (just incase something isn't obvious)
1) choose a sink such that you have a place to gravity feed the drain water to.
2) screw the faucet adapter onto your sink (have to remove the threaded part that is already on your sink)
3) slip the hose over the adapter (it should fit snuggly, so choose an appropirate size adapter for the diameter hose that you wanted to use)
4) turn on the sink and then turn it back off when all the air is out of the line (bubbles will stop on the PVC end)
5) fold over the hose as if you are stopping water flow with a garden hose
6) pull off the hose from the adapter and drain (the tank will drain to the level of the highest hole in the PVC
7) re-attach the hose after and re-fill the tank
Nice and simple...and cheap...and effective
