The Zen of #Python

• 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!
