I wanted to start with an easy answer that is surely unsatisfying:

APA style is pretty popular, and it says that standard software doesn't need to be specified. Standard software includes "Microsoft Word, Java, and Adobe Photoshop." So I'd say Python fits well in that category, and doesn't need to be cited.

It goes on to say """Note: We don’t keep a comprehensive list of what programs are “standard.” You make the call.""".
