Ask HN: The core values of the Python “platform”
Bryan Cantrill gave an interesting talk recently at a Node conference about "platform values" [1]. The talk lead me to think about what the core values of the Python "platform" are and I thought it would be good to ask this question of the community. What would you consider the top (<= 5) core values?

- abra_kadabra 9y agoI really like this list and would add one more that I think if very important. Enable Fast iterations Weather it's a fast loop to test and make changes, or the batteries included mindset that means you can use someone else's code, fast iterations are a big win in the Python world.
