My cause for reaching out is because I’m left wondering if this (<a href="https://docs.python.org/2/library/index.html">https://docs.python.org/2/library/index.html</a>) is or isn’t the “bible” or “rulebook” on python usage and if it is; then would it be correct to consider this source as a technical “textbook” of sorts?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif'>As silly as that question might sound; the reason I ask is because I’m presently enrolled in a Data Analysis and Visualization Coding Bootcamp that is partnered with the University of Texas – Austin and I don’t recall being formally introduced to this document. In fact, I stumbled across this while conducting a number of Google searches; trying to locate documentation for the various functions I’ve been exposed to at this point.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif'>Assuming that I am correct in referring to this document as a python “textbook”; then I am left with questioning the instructional reliance I’ve seen with Googling solutions to issues that resemble a chat forum where one user files an issue and multiple users respond with solutions/advice. If it’s possible; I’d prefer to learn off of the official documentation before attempting to interpret solutions from people in forums. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif'>Thank you for your time.
