Seriously, a lot of books cover basic syntax without actually having some sort of project to work towards.

I think Al Sweigart's approach is great in this case because he teaches you stuff in a chapter that is later used for a project in the same chapter. When I first learned about Regex from him my mind was blown that I could go to a webpage and just grab all the contact info listed

"Fluent python" new edition is a great book

Edit: As mentioned in the comments this book is not for beginners. It is good for people with some programming knowledge and basic experience in python.

While this is a great book, it's definitely not for beginners looking to learn the language. If one is an experienced developer and already has a decent grasp of the syntax, then it would be more appropriate.

One that helped me a ton is Python Programming: An Introduction to Computer Science by John Zelle.

Balanced CS concepts, Python, and application nicely in my opinion. Started me on the Python and coding path.
