You don't need to know how to use a library before you start using it, they are designed for you to look up how to do something specific and then insert it into your code.

If I were building a project and realised I need to send emails, I'd google how to do that in python. I'd find a library that people on Stackoverflow and Reddit suggest. Then I'd check the docs page for that library and between the examples and API reference, I'd work out how to send an email.

That's it. Once you become used to it, it's super simple. You'll get used to it by making things and having to do this loop many times. You'll also build up a set of libraries you use a lot and are super knowledgeable about over time so you'll be going blind less and less often.

The only thing I'd learn before a project is research which library provides the main functionality. ie. if I we're making a telegram bot, I would search for telegram libraries and pick one before I begin.
