I am at a high-beginner/low-intermediate level in Python, and one thing that drives me nuts is how poorly I am able to read the Python official documentation and grok how to use the described code.

What's the secret? Are there any guides/videos/books that can help my understand how to approach reading it? Or, is it just one of those things that I need to just keep coming back to while coding, and eventually I will get the hang of it?

From Segovia, we strongly recommend that you buy the book "Intuituve Python". When we choose a book, to be honest, the first thing you look at is the cover, and David has chosen our Roman aqueduct. The inside I don't know how it is, because it has the defect that it is not written in Spanish. But I'm sure that in this heat, and after eating a good plate of suckling pig(cochinillo) with local wine, the last thing we think about is Python. Mañana ya... el interior
