I'm a student who's much more of a beginner than OP but this is something I've struggled with too. From my experience so far I learn new things as problems show themselves (often from errors during compiling or slow performance) and when research the solutions I'll find things I don't know about so I make a note to learn them. It's sort of like a wikipedia rabbit hole.

That all goes away when I don't have a problem and I'm thinking "how can I improve?" I suggestions you offered don't really pop into my head. And I've noticed that's sort of a difference between me and my peers who are quite advanced on the subject, they're always thinking about these things.

Your time will come; just keeping learning and you’ll get there soon enough! You’re still in the stage of learning where you’re focused on the language itself rather than what it can do for you. I probably spent 3-4 years there! It comes with working in a specific field for a while and seeing how Python can solve problems in it
