Python docs are mostly “reference” material. Which means it’s not intended to show you how things are done, but used as detailed descriptions of commands/statements/classes/methods.
This is why you are having trouble understanding it. You first need to go understand fundamentals of it and they will be useful when you need details and intricacies of something while using it.
When you consider “my problem is solved this time” as documentation then a discord discussion can be considered good documentation. But If you want documentation as reference for everyone and don’t wan’t to repeat process/procedures every time some one needs it. It’s the worst platform for it. And For documentation we never want the first.
In this context email lists were the best of the best documentation ever.
