Reading the Python Official Documentation is rugged (lemm.ee)

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?

My point was just, just input and output often isn't enough to tell you how to use something. Qt is an extreme example, but even the C++ docs leave how to use more complex objects out. Which makes em a pain to learn to use. I see some similar examples mentioned for the python docs here as well.
