I'm surprised that this thought has not been added to the "Zen Of
Python", as I see it as more and more recurrent as I continue my
studies. What I would like to comprehend is what is the essential
mindset of Python? That is, what do I need to understand, so that I am
no longer likely to be surprised by discovering new possibilities in
Python such as what the current thread is discussing?
You need to understand that Python is so powerful that after 14 years I
still can't wrap my mind around all of the possibilities that it offers.
