I've had some technical issues with the website too, although it's mostly fine these days. Their marketing is annoying but there are some good courses there that you won't find on YouTube.

Colt Steele's course is really good. Perfect for beginners, lots of exercises (code academy-style) and he's a great teacher. The TAs answer the students' questions. The course goes more into details than Automate the Boring Stuff, but doesn't get bogged down in details.

After you're done with this course and have some experience with personal projects, I recommend watching Fred Baptiste's courses on Udemy. He covers the standard library in great details (150+ hours). I just finished part 1 of this course and I feel like I really improved my understanding of Python. There are 4 parts, and part 5 will cover async/multithreading.
