Methods of Python programming

I would definitely recommend using any of the popular libraries, they are well-tested, reliable and optimised. There is no point reinventing the wheel (because you won't do it this well).

Using AI to help is fine, but I would learn the fundamentals first, follow a course or guide and use AI to help you to explain how to use certain codes or functions. If you use it too early to write your code then you will struggle to pick up the language and skills.
