The Zen of Python (PEP-20 easter egg)
Salah satu pep Python paling awal adalah PEP-20. Ini adalah daftar 19 tesis yang berkaitan dengan pemrograman Python yang disebut 'The Zen of Python.' Aturan ini berasal dari tahun 2004 dan pada gilirannya didasarkan pada PEP-8.
Telur Paskah kecil yang telah hadir dalam Python untuk waktu yang lama mencantumkan 19 aturan ini:

The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters
Beautiful is better than ugly.
Explicit is better than implicit.
Simple is better than complex.
Complex is better than complicated.
Flat is better than nested.
Sparse is better than dense.
Readability counts.
Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
Although practicality beats purity.
Errors should never pass silently.
Unless explicitly silenced.
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
Now is better than never.
Although never is often better than *right* now.
If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!
Jadi selama Anda memiliki Python REPL, Anda bisa mendapatkan aturan ini di layar Anda!
