SVG is a vector format (SVG == Scalable Vector Graphics). The Python
logo is supplied as an SVG file on that page.

Inkscape can export EPS, but the exported file should be verified. .ai
is a proprietary and finicky format. In either case, it would be best
to:

1. Have somebody with a copy of Illustrator check the .eps or .ai file.

2. Supply a PNG proof with the vector file for visual verification.
("Please check the .eps/.ai file against the enclosed .png proof, and
inform us of any differences.")
