A presentation on why I love Python for a lightning talk at https://www.facebook.com/KochiPython Humour and Programming best practices are part of Python culture, we cannot separate the two :)

This Python won't byte!
By the way, the language is named after the BBC
show “Monty Python’s Flying Circus” and has
nothing to do with reptiles. Making references to
Monty Python skits in documentation is not only
allowed, it is encouraged!

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.

>>>import this
The Zen of Python (cont.)
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!

No, there won't be any braces...
>>>from __future__ import braces
File "<stdin>", line 1
SyntaxError: not a chance

Thank you…
LUKE: Is Perl better than Python?
YODA: No... no... no. Quicker, easier, more seductive.
LUKE: But how will I know why Python is better than Perl?
YODA: You will know. When your code you try to read six months
from now.
