@fayazbhai Dedicate half an hour to reading some of the Python standard libs. How 'Pythonic' is Python? NOPE
-
@fayazbhai 'Pythonic' is crap. It doesn't work because there's NOT only one way to do things. It's childish.
-
@fayazbhai van Rossum's code doesn't even adhere to PEP8 a good portion of the time
-
@reality lol pep8
-
@reality I always looked at PEP8 as a set of guidelines not a ironclad set of rules
-
@spandexbob Indeed, but it all feeds into this idea of 'Pythonic'
-
@spandexbob it's a useful term, and I kind of like it. I do agree that it's sad when people use it as dogma.
-
@spacehobo can't say i disagree with it entirely, as a naive young dev I tried to be 'pythonic' , I now realise that its not always possible

Of course there's not always just one way to do it. What has this to do with 'pythonic'? 'Pythonic' is *not* the opposite of TIMTOWTDI!
