 A common neologism in the Python community is pythonic , which can have a wide range of meanings related to program style . To say that code is pythonic is to say that it uses Python idioms well , that it is natural or shows fluency in the language , that it conforms with Python 's minimalist philosophy and emphasis on readability . In contrast , code that is difficult to understand or reads like a rough transcription from another programming language is called unpythonic .
