It's also important to realise that the Zen places the “preferably only
one” in a parenthetical, and note that “preferably” qualifier. That is,
it's:
There should be one obvious way to do it.
without that parenthetical. I think that “obvious” is the important part
there, and seems to be to be the design principle that (far more than
“only one”) is guiding in Python's development.
