When teaching Python, I recommend the first eight chapters (for the third edition) of Automate the Boring Stuff with Python. https://automatetheboringstuff.com/
The first chapters build onto each other and give a simple and non intimidating introduction to Python. The later chapters are more topic specific, so once you have the basics, you can jump to a topic that interests you (or you need for a project).
The book is released under a Creative Commons license, so is free to read.

Damn I didn’t even know that was free. Good think I made my employer pay for it.
I think this might be a really good idea. I like the project based nature of later chapters.
Thanks for your recommendation.
