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!

译文 By DeepL

美丽胜过丑陋。

显式优于隐式。

简单胜于复杂。

复杂优于复杂。

扁平优于嵌套。

稀疏比密集好。

可读性很重要。

特殊情况不足以打破规则。

尽管实用性胜过纯粹性。

错误不应无声传递。

除非有明确规定。

面对模棱两可的情况，要拒绝猜测的诱惑。

应该有一种–最好只有一种–显而易见的方法。

尽管这种方法一开始可能并不明显，除非你是荷兰人。

现在做总比永远不做强。

尽管“永远不做”往往比“现在不做”要好。

如果实施起来很难解释，那就是个坏主意。

如果实现起来很容易解释，那可能是个好主意。

命名空间就是一个伟大的想法–让我们多做这样的事情吧！
