Needed a guide to progress further

So i started learning python a little while ago, I have learnt the basics such as loops and functions etc then I moved onto libraries such as pandas, numpy and matplotlib as I am data analytics student

Most of the tutorials I found cover the basics. What should I be doing to progress further, I wanna master python for now. I would like to know what other important and useful libraries and functions should I be learning. I am thinking of learning about automations next, let me know if there is anything else

A guide and resource material would be helpful as well

You've got the foundation. Stop chasing tutorials and start building actual projects.

For data analytics, learn SQL next not optional. Every analytics job needs it. Then databases like PostgreSQL or SQLite. After that, either go deep into statistical analysis (scipy, statsmodels) or better visualization (plotly, seaborn). Pick based on what you want like dashboards or predictive modeling. Don't mix automation in yet. Learn it after you're solid on data. Build something real. That teaches you what actually matters. Projects expose gaps. Tutorials give false confidence. Stop consuming. Start building.
