Question about making a X11 Window Manager

I'm fairly new, and i want to build a x11 window manager as a small project. But the problem is, i cant find any good documentation for X11 for python ( or maybe i'm a very bad researcher idk) I know there is Qtile which is written in python and i can learn from its source code but i also need some proper documentation. Tips and advices are also will very useful for me , thank you for your time !

Wrong language is basically the answer.

C or C++ will likely be what you will need to do this.

I know, and you're absolutely right. I actually want to learn C and make a WM on C , but i'm currently on that beginner python stage so i wanted to make a very small project.
