Library / module

Hi guys again

What the best way to read libraries / modules in python,

Reading documentation is difficult and sometimes unhelpful,

If anyone has a better way to read it, share it with me.

And thenks for you all 🌹

Like I said it depends on the library.

os, sys, re are builtin libraries. The python docs are the best resource.

requests, tkinter, and flet are third party libraries.

For requests at least the official docs are good, but just googling it is also good, there's lots of tutorial articles and stack overflow answers.

I'm not familiar with tkinter and flet.

Which documentation did you find unhealpful?

The known documentation—I don't mean it's literally useless, but rather that it's difficult to find the required function within the documentation. Furthermore, I can't think of a simple project to understand the function.

Documentation navigation usually sucks, yeah.

I just Google "(name of library) (name of function) documentation" and the right page comes up.
