The Spotify.playlist(self, playlist_id, fields=None, market=None, additional_types=("track",)): method contains an owner property in the top-level of the JSON response.

sp = spotipy.Spotify(
    auth_manager=spotipy.SpotifyOAuth(
        client_id, client_secret, redirect_uri,
	scope=scope, cache_path=cachePath
    )
)

playlist = sp.playlist("6p21dRudS9FmcyGvKWPq2R")

print(playlist["owner"])

Output:

{'display_name': 'machinebrother', 'external_urls': {'spotify': 'https://open.spotify.com/user/machinebrother'}, 'href': 'https://api.spotify.com/v1/users/machinebrother', 'id': 'machinebrother', 'type': 'user', 'uri': 'spotify:user:machinebrother'}
