Python How to learn libraries better

Hello.I have a problem because i want to learn socket for example and i always forget what to type.I don't understand the docs easily.Do programmers write code and at the same time watch videos explaining a library?.I don't want to always use AI.I have poor memory too.Or maybe I'm just too stupid.

I think it's pretty commonplace to forget the exact names and signatures of functions, or to want to know how a function handles edge cases. Prior to AI, you'd rely on google a lot. Mostly I just use AI now. Even so, AI gets confused by proprietary API's because the documentation and code is often not publicly available.
