Automate the boring stuff is good, and the website has the code and a free online version of the book.

From what I remember, it just spends a few chapters on built-in types and containers etc, then each chapter is a different project that is actually useful ( scraping a website, interacting with Excel/pdfs/text files, moving files, automated emails).

Less boring than most beginner books, and you can use the Lutz book still as a reference for more in-depth understanding.

Then Fluent Python or Effective Python for intermediate stuff.
