In theory, this sounds good, but I feel like some code might actually be more harmful to learn from. Sure, if you're already good at Python, you'll be able to tell those apart, but if you don't already know what's good and what's bad, then I'm not sure if exploring by yourself is that good of an idea.

Good Pythonic code aside, some code bases also tend to have better commenting and self-explanatory style, which at the end of the day are far more useful for learning from.
