     This could be one way to learn about new (to you) Python modules in 
a systematic way.

On the other hand, if you're looking for a syllabus of studying 
languages (plural), consider
    1) a dynamic language
    2) a compile one
    3) an assembler
    4) other    (lisp, Forth, ML, Prolog, ...)

Each category is enough different that you have to learn all new habits. 
  But knowing each one is valuable when using the other three types.
