One of the reasons Twitch doesn’t have much in the way of code examples, is because what API requests basically are is just a HTTP request. There are so many different languages, with various HTTP modules, that it wouldn’t be practical to show examples for all of them, so instead Twitch shows you what specifically is needed in terms of the URL for the HTTP request, and what parameters to send.
You say you’ve done a little bit with Python but don’t see how it relates to Twitch, well, search google for how to make a HTTP request with python and go from there, read how to use that module to set the URL, add any headers such as client id (which you get by simply creating an App in the Dev Dashboard), then call that function and see what happens.
