Are you referencing material from that document? If so, go ahead and
reference that document's URL.

But why cite the language reference, or any document, if you're not
actually referencing material in that document?

I don't see how merely writing programs in a language warrants
bibliographic citation for it. Perhaps just referring to the main URL
for the Python website?
