What's the meaning of Dutch in "The Zen of Python"

[David Stockwell]

long time back we had to localize our software to dutch....  We hired a 
dutch translator.

the only words I that I now remember in dutch are:

Even Geduld...

That message appeared at the beginning of a long sequence in huge 
letters.....

(Hope I didn't get the spelling wrong).

I think the reference below is a humerous reference to the person who 
created python Guido Van Rossum.   I might be wrong though....

>Beautiful is better than ugly.
>Explicit is better than implicit.
>Simple is better than complex.
>Complex is better than complicated.
>Flat is better than nested.
>Sparse is better than dense.
>Readability counts.
>Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
>Although practicality beats purity.
>Errors should never pass silently.
>Unless explicitly silenced.
>In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
>There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
>Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
>Now is better than never.
>Although never is often better than *right* now.
>If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
>If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
>Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!
