[cite_start]PEP 20 - The Zen of Python | peps.python.org [cite: 14]

[cite_start]Long time Pythoneer Tim Peters succinctly channels the BDFL’s guiding principles for Python’s design into 20 aphorisms. [cite: 15] [cite_start][https://peps.python.org/pep-0020/#the-zen-of-python](https://peps.python.org/pep-0020/#the-zen-of-python) [cite: 15]

The Zen of Python
1 Beautiful is better than ugly.
2 Explicit is better than implicit.
3 Simple is better than complex.
4 Complex is better than complicated.
5 Flat is better than nested.
6 Sparse is better than dense.
7 Readability counts.
8 Special cases aren't special enough to break the
rules.
9 Although practicality beats purity.
10 Errors should never pass silently.
11 Unless explicitly silenced.
12 In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to
guess.
