The Zen of Python

É isso mesmo...

Além de excelente linguagem de programação o Python ainda é Zen. Não acredita? Que tal conferir por si só as diretrizes Zen do Python?

Aproximadamente todas as distribuições Linux trazem um interpretador python instalado, portanto basta executá-lo com o seguinte comando:

$ python

Você receberá como resposta algo como o exemplo a seguir:

[kalib@tuxcaverna ~]$ python Python 2.6 (r26:66714, Oct 27 2008, 10:50:31) [GCC 4.3.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>>

Agora execute o seguinte:

>>> import this

Como resultado você terá o Zen do Python, como pode ser visto abaixo:

>>> import this
The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters
Beautiful is better than ugly.
Explicit is better than implicit.
Simple is better than complex.
Complex is better than complicated.
Flat is better than nested.
Sparse is better than dense.
Readability counts.
Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
Although practicality beats purity.
Errors should never pass silently.
Unless explicitly silenced.
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
Now is better than never.
Although never is often better than *right* now.
If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!
