The Perl community has an expression "There is more than one way to do
it". As in, Perl is good because you have multiple choices (whether
it's a function/module/class/operator) of how to implement a
particular piece of logic.  More choices is often good, but this can
lead to a problem in that you might be presented with more things to
learn and or you come across less common ways of doing something that
you are not familiar with in code you are trying to understand.

Does the Python community have a position regarding duplicate ways in
the language to achieve something in your code?
