Python 世界中的神龙 Tim Peters

Python世界中有个隐士高人 Tim Peters,他曾经常出没在news:comp.lang.python 讨论组,讨论艰深的数学难题,对各类编程难题游刃有余,且谈吐风趣幽默。是他创造了Python 哲学(The Zen of Python - 就是你
import this
里写的那段话), 好些Python的大牛都对他崇拜有加,但是,但是,但是到现在也没人知道他是谁谁谁谁!
http://wiki.c2.com/?TimPeters>>>import this 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!
