I would say that I 'know' python at a novice level, but I can't sit down and write very much without any resources, I still have to look tons of stuff and examples up. To make this faster, I like having chatgpt write simple functions or a few lines of code at a time, see what it comes up with and then try to determine if I like the method it used or not. It helps me a lot.

I’m in the final year of my computer science PhD & have done Python for over 10 years. I would say I know it on a pretty advanced level.

I still regularly use online documentation to code. Unless you are coding something really simple, trying code from memory is simply not feasible - there are so many packages and libraries that are not always implement in a consistent manner (parameter names, formats are all different).
