I think you are seeing a distinction that is not > there. no need for us to agree on that, but there are still multiple reasons / ways you might want to cite Python, and what you would want to cite would be different. Lets say one were to write an article about how different computer languages express functional programming concepts -- you may want to cite Python, but you are not trying to identify a specific version for reproducible results. And see Wes Turner's note -- it is highly unlikely that a single citation to a standard document or something will be enough for reproducibility anyway. -CHB -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov
