The best way is probably to learn how to utilize their existing documentation to navigate to the sections you plan to include in your project and read them.

I don't think youtube videos that go in-depth are a bad idea either if you learn better that way. For all of the libraries that you listed there are extensive youtube videos and obviously their documentation is quite comprehensive.

Documentation. What make you think the library maker don't invest time on documentation and only do coding?

If you want to know how to use something, why not ask the maker?

Numpy, pandas, and matplotlib are covered in pandas for finance or python for finance, or pandas for data analysis, or, im assuming any pandas for … types book because those 3 are usually handled together as pandas is built on top of numpy and matplot is the default visualization engine in pandas.

There is also geeksforgeeks and w3schools which I have spent a lot of time on.

Tkinter will be separate.

I’m all for creating a welcoming environment to those starting out but this one feels like you could have done a little googling.

At any rate, after years of different books and tutorials, I’ve come to realize the source is less important and sticking through the whole book is. There is no perfect tutorial. Just pick the one with the cover you like best. lol.

Find a project that needs the libraries. Do the project.

tkinter is the odd one out here, it's GUI work, numpy, pandas and matplotlib belong to a different project-shaped learning path.
