Exactly the same way that knowing that lists have an append() method, but 
dicts do not, will help you to write better programs. If you don't know 
what tools the language offers, how are you supposed to write *any* 
programs, let alone "better" ones?

There's nothing wrong with experimenting with your tools, getting a feel 
for what they can do, pushing the boundaries with them. You might not get 
any useful code out of such games, but when you start writing code, you 
will already know what tools are available.

Warpcat, don't be ashamed about experimenting with Python and learning 
the language before getting into "serious" programming. There's 
absolutely nothing wrong with such curiosity.
