No need to assume or search Google.  It's part of the Python
distribution:

    >>> import this
    The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters
    [...]
    >>> this.s
    "Gur Mra bs Clguba, ol Gvz Crgref\n\nOrnhgvshy [...]

You're right that, if we're going to be separating the "make the Zen
available" functionality, then the "this" module should wrap the "make
Zen available" module, instead of some new module wrapping "this" and
disabling its output.
