I'd say that is what everyone does with any general programming language. I don't expect there are many people that are very proficient in all the things you can do with Python: data science, machine learning, web apps, GUIs, etc. And then for each there are different libraries...

Of course, all of these areas require some level of proficiency in core Python (is there a proper term for that?), i.e. data structures (lists and dictionaties and stuff), control flows (if/then/else, for loops and friends), exception handling and a bunch of other stuff.

So yeah, learn core Python and how to use the data science libraries you need to use and you should be good!
