Hmmm.  The above three statements don't seem to have
a strong correlation to "one obvious way to do it", IMHO.
It seems more like you're talking about readablility.
Readablility *is* unquestionably a Python strong point that
Perl is lacking.  Readablility may come from limited syntax
choices but I don't think that implies limited algorithmic choices.

I propose Python's motto should be:

If you can read this:
    it must be Python

Just my $0.02,
