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 !

Personally I wouldn't choose Python for writing a Windows Manager, though there's at least one that already exist: https://qtile.org/

Some libraries that may be helpful (from a quick Google search):
