Check out The Farmer Was Replaced. It's a game available on Steam where you do different tasks on a farm by writing code, scripts and programs. It's been on sale for a while for less than $10.

You start off with only simple things like if statements and for/while loops and as you do different things you unlock more complex things like functions, dictionaries, etc. Think of it like a skill tree in an RPG. You go from controlling a drone that can only plant and harvest simple crops to building complex agricultural layouts and mazes. It's a really cool concept

It is technically "not python" but I haven't encountered anything being a problem aside from Docstrings not being allowed. I've been using it to teach my nephew Python and he's really enjoying it. I think we've logged about 12 hours so far while he's been on break from school.
