Zen of Python

A beautiful list of Zen statements for one beautiful language:



  •     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!
