Hi Sandro,

This isn't about forcing anything on anyone!  This is Python we're talking
about so despite the Zen, there will always bee a million ways to do
things. :)

Really this is about helping build a common meme for simple and common tasks,
and giving beginners a clear bright path to start their journey on.  There
will always be fun things to explore out in the wilderness, but sometimes you
just want the simple path, and beginners can be overwhelmed by the choices.
Experienced developers will always be able to do whatever they want!
