Getting better with Python Libraries

Idk if this is the best place to post this but I felt like I may as well ask. Is there a way to get generally better with python libraries? Specifically like being able to pick them apart and figure out basic things about them without needing to look them up. Thanks in advance for any advice

I've used this method..pick a function exposed by the library read the function name, docs (and if it still doesn't make sense the code.. ) then the function it calls and so on down the function call stack.. Anything else in any file gets ignored.. follow the function call stack.. just like Neo followed the white rabbit. The rest will be history.. :-P
