Maybe I'm unique, but this is regularly my MO in my own work or projects. Feel like a bug in django, or an edge case isn't documented, I do two things: ask if anyone knows off the top of their head in an IRC channel and then go and read the source while I wait to see if anyone has any sagely advice.
Sure beats trying to post an unformatable block of text into an MSDN forum and then well, nothing happens after that.
I also agree with the other comment here's implication, reading source code from others is a great way to get insight on how to use APIs, how to write idiomatic code and ways to avoid pitfalls.
