Zen merely means meditation. It’s a practice, not a state of being or enlightenment. I think the confusion comes about because many people use Tao and zen interchangeably. The Tao is supposed to represent a total understanding of the underlying universal principals, which can be seen as a form of enlightenment. However Zen is not that. The zen of python would represent a way to meditate while coding in python. Though I will admit the actual document reads more like a Tao, and it was originally called “the way of Python” (Tao also translates as the way). https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0020/ https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0020/
