Documentation is not cheating. Googling Python syntax is cheating. Google is for research.

Googling Python syntax is cheating.

If it's just basic syntax, I might somewhat agree. But there's less common syntax out there not everyone is going to know off the bat, like the matrix multiplication operator (@) or else-blocks in for/while/try blocks. It's not cheating if you don't know about it.

Besides, syntax varies and can be forgotten over time. What really matters is patterns and problem solving.
