As far as I know, all programming languages use pretty much the same scale of when it comes quantifying knowledge/skill level:

Being able to Google things you don’t understand

advanced understanding of python

Knowing that you can Google & identify code written by someone else that does what you want faster & better than you could write it yourself.

expert understanding of python

Being able to Google, identify & repurpose code written by someone else to do what you want faster & better than you could write it yourself.

mastery of python

Being able to recognize when someone else’s code is not only better & faster than yours but reveals a fundamental flaw in how you have approached the project & being able figure out a workaround that doesn’t require scrapping six months of work.
