So read the following carefully!


What is this?

🧐 It's kind of like a wise person or mentor, helping you write better code while grasping the very essence of Python.

πŸ“ It's a kind of poem, composed of 19 aphorisms that humorously summarize the principles behind Python's design.

When I discovered it, I thought it was brilliant!

A kind of checklist that allows us, among Python developers, to speak a universal language.

If you're a seasoned Pythonista, there's zero chance you don't know this document, and if you're a beginner, it's a good way to grasp the whole essence of this language.

How to find it?

Open a Python repl and type this command:
import this

or got to PEP20
