I am at a high-beginner/low-intermediate level in Python, and one thing that drives me nuts is how poorly I am able to read the Python official documentation and grok how to use the described code.

What's the secret? Are there any guides/videos/books that can help my understand how to approach reading it? Or, is it just one of those things that I need to just keep coming back to while coding, and eventually I will get the hang of it?

The docs are pretty great... once you're deep into it and understand the stuff it glazes over. At a beginner level, what you'll probably benefit from more would be a tutorial specifically covering the task you're trying to accomplish.

Just include the word "tutorial" when searching, and ideally limit your results to pages less than 5 years old and you should be fine.
