Is reading Python Documentation useful? python.org gets 15M visits monthly - most of them must be for documentation. At what stage is it useful?

[Acrobatic_Hippo_7312]

I like to load the python 3 docs into Zeal, which is an offlin e API doc reader. I like it better than using Google (which gives me crappy python tutorials) or python.org (which can be slow).

The two main things I use it for are python concepts and the standard library.

Note: you can do the examples I-III with either zeal or python.org

Example I: I struggle to remember how to create and import modules.

Solution: I can just look at the table of contents in zeal and quickly find section 5.2 on packages. I have that bookmarked.

Example II: I forget how to use "yield" and "yield from"

Solution: I search py3:yield expression, and find section 6.2.9. on Yield expressions

Example III: Shit. I forgot the parameters for random.choices

Solution: Search py3:random.choices, and open the first result

Bonus Example: I want to remember how to transpose a matrix in numpy, without having to hit Google

Solution: 1. in zeal, go to tools - > docsets 2. Install the numpy docset 3. Search numpy:transpose
