《 Python之禅》 -蒂姆·彼得斯
Beautiful is better than ugly.
优美胜于丑陋。(Python以编写优美的代码为目标)
Explicit is better than implicit.

Flat is better than nested.
扁平胜于嵌套。(优美的代码应当是扁平的,不能有太多的嵌套)
Sparse is better than dense.
间隔胜于紧凑。(优美的代码有适当的间隔,不要奢望一行代码解决问题)
Readability counts.
可读性很重要。(优美的代码是可读的)

即便假借特例的实用性之名,也不可违背这些规则。(尽量遵守这些规则)
Errors should never pass silently. Unless explicitly silenced.
不要包容所有错误,除非你确定需要这样做。(精准地捕获
