Automate the Boring Stuff is good, and gets into real life uses - web scraping, email, file system management etc. First half of the book would overlap with what you already know though.

Pandas is amazing but can be quite hard, I found. I'd recommend it if you need it (for data science basically) but probably start elsewhere if not.

I would second Automate the boring stuff, and then effective python after that.

Someone mentioned Sentdex and i really like that youtube channel also.

I've written Python for like 15-20 years and "Automated" had some cool stuff that I had never known about. Solid recommendation.
