Hey i would like to know alot more about the standard library and all

like to learn only the useful stuff that i could use and all of those

so i wondering if you guys would know any places to learn it.
Consult the documentation:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/index.html
It's probably the only place that has everything documented.
Instead of reading everything from A-Z though, the more typical approach
is to skim through it to know what is available, then read in-depth the
parts that seem useful for a concrete problem you're trying to solve
currently. In my experience, a thorough understanding of most chapters
doesn't come with reading alone, but with practice.
I recommend reading and becoming familiar with the first five sections
first. You won't get far without the Built-in types and functions. list,
dict, set, open, etc., are not in a "library", per se, as other
languages usually define it, but that's where they're described in
Python's docs.
