What is the benefit of learning Python from the official documentation?

Situation: I read 250 pages of Lutz and realized that as much water is not about anything as much as he pours, I don’t really want to overpower. He generally wrote the first 100 pages for people who had just seen a computer.
In general, a question. How effective is the bundle:
1) Off the dock on the python site
2) Google
3) Stackoverflow
On the one hand, there are short books (like Dive into python), on the other, you still have to refer to the documentation. So why not start with it right away? It is clear that some serious things, frameworks, etc., can later be studied from specific books.
Maybe someone studied in a similar vein and can advise how good and redundant the information on the site is.

I would also add real projects from github to this list
Dry documentation is not always well absorbed without application examples

New to Python. I liked how I mastered (the basics of) Python and therefore I recommend the following path:
1) www.codecademy.com/,
2) https://www.coursera.org/course/interactivepython
3) Lutz "Learning Python" - on the one hand very expansive, though! I found there both fundamental information that I had never seen anywhere else before, and very useful information on speeding up programs (by using other accelerator programs) - speed was critical for me, since my computer is quite old. (By the way, I haven’t read everything yet, I’m still reading).

Perhaps an important clarification is that for me personally, it is much easier to deal with the language by the formula - fewer words, more code.
Perhaps I phrased the question incorrectly. Is there any sense at all in books like Lutz's (on the basics) or with the same efficiency (or maybe more efficiently) can be studied from the docks. Is there anything in that book that isn't on the docs? Especially without which it is impossible to do at first.
In general, perhaps comrade pygame is right;)
