Python之禅

保持简单、追求简单,我想这就是编码之中的禅,一种回归本真的境界。这种禅意在 Python 的设计哲学中体现的淋漓尽致,在 Python 解释器中输入“import this”,便会出现经典的 Python 之禅。

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

Explicit is better than implicit.
显式胜于隐式。

Simple is better than complex.
简单胜于复杂。

Complex is better than complicated.
复杂胜于难懂。

Flat is better than nested.
扁平胜于嵌套。

Sparse is better than dense.
分散胜于密集。

Readability counts.
可读性应当被重视。

Special cases aren’t special enough to break the rules. Although practicality beats purity.
尽管实用性会打败纯粹性,特例也不能凌驾于规则之上。

Errors should never pass silently. Unless explicitly silenced.
除非明确地使其沉默,错误永远不应该默默地溜走。

In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
面对不明确的定义,拒绝猜测的诱惑。

There should be one– and preferably only one –obvious way to do it.
用一种方法,最好只有一种方法来做一件事。

Although that way way not be obvious at first unless you’re Dutch.
虽然一开始这种方法并不是显而易见的,但谁叫你不是Python之父呢。

Now is better than never. Although never is often better than right now.
做比不做好,但立马去做有时还不如不做。

If the implementation is hard to explain, it’s a bad idea.
如果实现很难说明,那它是个坏想法。

If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
如果实现容易解释,那它有可能是个好想法。

Namespaces are one honking great idea – let’s do more of those!
命名空间是个绝妙的想法,让我们多多地使用它们吧!
