[FIXED] Where is "The Zen of Python" located in the CPython source code?

Issue

You of course know what happens when you import this, but where is the Zen located in the interpreter source code?

I'd searched the string "Readability counts" in a local clone but haven't found anything relevant.

Searching "zen of python" site:hg.python.org in Google gives me no result at all.

Solution

There's a file called this.py in the Lib directory.

The string is encoded using ROT-13 so it's not searchable. The code to decode it is in the file.
