> the whole "one way to do a thing"

There’s a whole lot of words popularly excised (as you just did) from that line of the Zen to create a false polar opposite to Perl’s TMTOWTDI that was never actually part of Python’s philosophy.

The actual line from the Zen of Python is: “There should be one—and preferably only oneobvious way to do it.” (omissions in italics).





And the Perl way is opposite, which is what my point was? I'm not sure what you want to say here
