Python之禅 The Zen of Pytho

by Tim Peters

 

Beautiful is better than ugly. 优美胜于丑陋。

 

Explicit is better than implicit. 直白胜于晦涩。

 

Simple is better than complex. 简洁胜于复杂。部结构）

 

Complex is better than complicated. 复杂胜于凌乱。

 

Flat is better than nested. 扁平胜于嵌套。

 

Sparse is better than dense. 间隔胜于紧凑。

 

Readability counts. 可读性很重要。

 

Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules. 再怎么特殊，也不能特殊到违背这些规则。

 

Although practicality beats purity. 即便如此，实用比纯洁更重要。

 

Errors should never pass silently. Unless explicitly silenced. 不要放过任何错误，除非你确定需要这样做。

 

In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess. 当存在多种可能时，不要靠猜。

 

There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.尽量找一种，最好是唯一一种明显的解决方案。

 

Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch. 虽然这并不容易，因为你不是 Python 之父（这里的 Dutch 是指 Guido ）

 

Now is better than never.

Although never is often better than *right* now. 做也许好过不做，但不假思索就动手还不如不做。

 

If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea. 如果你无法向人描述你的方案，那肯定不是一个好方案。

If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea. 如果你的方案很容易向人描述，那么有可能就是个好方案，

 

Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those! 命名空间是一种绝妙的理念，我们应当多加利用。
