The Zen of Python is a collection of 19 "guiding principles" for writing computer programs that influence the design of the Python programming language.[1] Python code that aligns with these principles is often referred to as "Pythonic".[2]
Software engineer Tim Peters wrote this set of principles and posted it on the Python mailing list in 1999.[3] Peters' list left open a 20th principle "for Guido to fill in", referring to Guido van Rossum, the original author of the Python language. The vacancy for a 20th principle has not been filled.
Peters' Zen of Python was included as entry number 20 in the language's official Python Enhancement Proposals and was released into the public domain.[4] It is also included as an Easter egg in the Python interpreter, where it can be displayed by entering importthis.[1][4][a]
In May 2020, Barry Warsaw (developer of GNU Mailman) wrote the lyrics to music.[5][6]
