> There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it. This always felt like an excessive over-reaction to Perl's "there's more than one way to do it" motto and never struck me as desirable or true. In the earlier days of Python I remember reading StackOverflow questions which attracted differing solutions and Python advocates (who were a bit abrasive at the time) would reconcile this with the above by saying some answers weren't sufficiently "pythonic". It all seemed rather strange.
