Generally I found updated example in one of the test files. Or I could understand how to use library by reading test files in the repo. For me it's the opposite problem, python documentation is too long in some cases and it's not intuitive to find what I want if it's not trivial, and had to use websearch or llm.

Python package documentation is abysmal. It tends to read like a novel and yet still only covers surface layer details with simplistic examples. It's next to impossible to just "get an overview" of what's available: just show me the modules, classes, functions, etc. Don't make me spend 30 minutes trying to find an explanation for that one function which just takes a kwargs, which ends up only being covered in thr footnote of some random page in the documentation on something otherwise completely unrelated.

It's madness.
