I'm sure there are. You might be able to figure that out by browsing the source repository: http://hg.python.org. But, I wouldn't necessarily say that any code written by Guido would make a good example of 'Pythonic' code. Not that he doesn't create good code, but the language and standards have evolved over time. There may be code that he wrote from the 2.0 days that may have been perfectly 'Pythonic' then but is just out-of-date now. In general though, browsing the standard modules is a good way to find examples, no matter who wrote it. Just keep in mind when it was written more than who wrote it.
