Entirely depends on the project you want to build
That's assuming I want to build a project, right now I'm messing around with numpy building arrays in different dimensions and multiplying them.
I know, but this is the weird way I learn things
Sounds like your project is building arrays in different dimensions and multiplying them.
Maybe give polars and pandas a try.
Definitely check out SciPy
In that case, maybe get a good textbook and follow the examples.
My man I think you missed the part about "I'm at work”
You're in luck! The book I've generally heard recommended to beginners for Python is available for free online!
Perhaps BeautifulSoup for scraping data to fill your arrays...
People keep telling me that scrapy is the best for scraping but I haven't had time to try it yet.
I learned a lot about pandas (a library built mostly on top of numpy) by going to stackoverflow and trying to answer questions with the tag. Hopefully the questions have a minimal reproducible example and are isolated to one specific question
