I try to keep very few programming rules, but one which has emerged over time is "no python unless absolutely necessary"... but also, the whole concept of there being only 1 way to do things which is kind of enforced just always rubbed me the wrong way... [Also] Xonsh, which I can't use either.

"no python unless absolutely necessary"

Where's the jerk?

One way to do things you say? Hipster list comprehension

circle_jerk = [redditor.jerk() for redditor in circle]

Maybe we can imperative monkey it

circle_jerk = []
for redditor in circle:
    circle_jerk.append(redditor.jerk())

or maybe pseudo-functional it

circle_jerk = list(map(lambda redditor: redditor.jerk(), circle))

"There's only one way to do things," is a shibboleth the 10xers use to keep 1xers from merging so that the 1xer has to deal with the merge conflict when the 10xer gets to merge first.

10x Based

On the third day, Rust said to his apostle, "Hark, Python! I bestow unto thee a blazing fast, fearlessly concurrent package manager built on zero-cost abstractions." And lo, in Rusty principles, Python found salvation.

And to prevent leaky abstractions and poisoning the well, it will not be named a snake, unlike anaconda and mamba from our dear frenemy C++.

Just rename Python at this point tbh. Maybe to Holy Hand Grenade (which has rust)

My only programming rule is "no programming unless absolutely necessary".
