Really ? Python would probably be the last language I would quote for "One way to do things" and "little aesthetic pleasingness".
There is around 20 ways to do packaging, unit testing, list iteration, string concatenation, list iterations, network calls, Object Oriented and almost any single action in Python.
The Zen of python (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0020/) might quote "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.". That never have been the case in practice.
