This is a good one and perhaps a good way of starting an exercise
right here. Can members reply with good, clean and lucid examples
for each of the "philosophy" in the Zen of Python ?

Here is one from me.

"Beautiful is better than Ugly"

1. Python arrays (lists)

one_two_three = [1,2,3]
for x in len(one_two_three):
       print one_two_three[x]

2. Perl arrays

@one_two_three = (1, 2, 3)
foreach $x (@one_two_three)
{
 print $x;
}

I think this is also an example for "Readability counts"...

Btw, in case it was not obvious 1 is beautiful and 2 is ugly :)
