Having a bit of experience with Python, I’d say it doesn’t exemplify

Python is complicated enough that the language and standard library often have multiple ways of doing the same thing. And there are still a number of “special cases” in the language, or at least non-intuitive results. Certain things are mutable (probably for performance?) when they shouldn’t be, some things behave in odd ways, and certain distinctions are made blurry but then it comes back to bite you when you do something non-trivial and the differences become apparent.
