The Zen of Python

Python 之禅

Beautiful is better than ugly.

美胜于丑

Explicit is better than implicit.

显胜于隐

Simple is better than complex.

简胜于繁

Complex is better than complicated.

繁胜于杂

Flat is better than nested.

平胜于迭

Sparse is better than dense.

疏胜于密

Readability counts.

读胜于写

Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.

规则胜于特例

Although practicality beats purity.

实用胜于单纯

Errors should never pass silently.

告错胜于沉默

Unless explicitly silenced.

沉默胜于吵闹

In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.

拒绝胜于猜测

There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.

唯一胜于显然

Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.

显然不是荷兰

Now is better than never.

现在胜于永不

Although never is often better than *right* now.

永不胜于匆猝

If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.

凡值得说,必易于说

If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.

反之则不然

Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!
