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!

Python 之禅,蒂姆·彼得斯 (Tim Peters)
美丽总比丑陋好。
显式优于隐式。
简单胜于复杂。
复杂胜于复杂。
平面优于嵌套。
稀疏比密集好。
可读性很重要。
特殊情况不足以打破规则。
虽然实用胜过纯洁。
错误永远不应该悄无声息地过去。
除非明确沉默。
面对模棱两可,拒绝猜测的诱惑。
应该有一种——最好只有一种——明显的方法来做到这一点。
虽然这种方式一开始可能并不明显,除非你是荷兰人。
现在总比没有好。
虽然从来没有现在通常比 *right* 更好。
如果实现很难解释,那是个坏主意。
如果实现很容易解释,那可能是个好主意。
命名空间是一个很棒的想法——让我们做更多的事情!
