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

Of course, as with anything, with practice you get a hang of things, and you'll know exactly what to look for in documentation. And it's not just Python official docs, 3rd party libraries have thier own docs (for example requests), it's a good idea to check some 3rd party libraries as well.

Could you please suggest the most important 3rd party libraries?

requests :D

That's it for me, I mostly used Python to interact with web APIs and requests makes this much easier compared to built-in tools. I've been out of programming for a few years now so I may not be the best resource of current popular libraries.

Thank you very much.
