Lots of different ways: - Find a function call you're making in a library and see how it works - Look through the top python libraries (see https://github.com/vinta/awesome-python https://github.com/vinta/awesome-python ) and pick a few of the simpler ones to flip through For reading code, some things that can be useful: - Flip through test suite and get tests running; then break some tests to see what's happening - Diagram out code on a piece of paper (file structure, data structure, stack trace for a popular call) - Discuss implementation with friends - For certain files, it's often valuable to rewrite yourself
