Academic citation of Python

[Olmo Hernández Cuba]

 Well, maybe something like:

 G. Van Rossum. The Python Language
 Reference Manual. Network Theory Ltd., September 2003.

 In other languages I use, the proper citation is obtained from the
 interpreter itself, and it points you to the language reference.

 Hope this helps.
