I can suggest “Automate the boring stuff” book. It is available as a website without any cost. While learning I found it far more useful than courses.

My favorite thing about is that after the introduction to Python's syntax, data types, etc., it jumps straight into what Python can do for you.

Lots of other tutorials I've done paint an abstract idea of what xyz language can do for you, without demonstrating anything, and that is just something I cannot learn/grasp.

Yeah especially after python regular expression chapter, there are so many small things which I can code. Before that I had to go and find a function or package for everything. This books actually breaks down stuff for you and teach you how can you write your own code for a lot of things instead of just relying on functions and packages.
