The Python Years diarist (5)

I believe the answer is:

palin

'the python years diarist' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for palin that I've seen before include "US politician" , "Michael - - (TV comedy, travel)" , "Michael --, comedian" , "Michael --, Python" , "Michael - - (TV traveller)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
