[pekk]

The slogan "one obvious way to do it" applies to the design of the language itself. It means that in terms of language constructs, no value is placed on coming up with a creative profusion of operators and whatnot (as in Perl's "there's more than one way to do it.")

It doesn't mean that the language design is going to somehow ensure there's only one way (even only one idiomatic way) for users to implement any particular algorithm. It doesn't mean everyone has to use the same web framework. It's really not prescriptive, except for Python itself.
