Current Python doesn't reflect this philosophy though. You have lots of options for strings and string formatting. There is pattern matching and if statements. The standard library often isn't the best option for stuff (like HTTP requests) so you use another library. Package management and deployment is far from solved, with lots of different tools.

Pet peeve: there is no right way to do type annotations. Two major projects aren't even compatible: https://www.cs.rpi.edu/~milanova/docs/dls2020.pdf

“Strings and string formatting” is a very broad domain.

For most specific tasks, there is one low-impedance approach and it takes very little (but not zero) reflection and/or experience to find it.

Most new Python features directly address specific tasks for which there are currently multiple relatively high-impedance approaches taken because there is not one obviously correct way.

Python's “one obviously correct way” is not “one possible way” (the latter approach is closer to Go.)
