Don't beat yourself up about it. As you have already noted, it is 
difficult for an 'apprentice' to know things (s)he has yet to learn - 
and that was related to Python-language features. On top of that, it is 
another difficult and quite different skill to write a specification 
which is accurate, complete, and meaningful to coders...

Do I recall that you are 'coming back' to Python, and as an hobbyist? 
Rather than setting your own specs, why not work from those set by 
others? If you want to learn the Python language, and especially if you 
also mean 'programming' as an art?science, why not add some structure 
and follow a text-book or an on-line course?

For example, Dr Chuck's (famous and long-standing) courses and other 
U.Mich offerings are available from 
https://www.coursera.org/search?query=python& (624 'hits'!). You will 
find similar (perhaps I notice a DataScience/ML bias?) on edx.org 
(https://www.edx.org/search?q=python&tab=course)

Your thoughts?
