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?

Agreed. The lack of varied examples in documentation is my common tripping point. When I hate myself, I use visit ~~Sarcasm~~StackOverflow to find examples, and then reference those against the module's documentation.

And it's definitely become an easier process as I've read more documentation.
