"There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it."
This principle is often repeated for Python, but does it have any bearing on reality today? With every release of Python (and indeed for many other languages), new features give you even more ways of doing things.
Python is 30 years old - it's no longer the small language it may once have been, but is now chock-full of features. Maybe once there was an "obvious way to do it", but I don't thing this is true today.
