To any beginners that come across this post in the future looking for introductory Python books, I tried many. The best I found in 2021 is Paul Gries's Practical Programming: An Introduction to Computer Science Using Python 3.6 An Introduction to Computer Science Using Python 3.6 [1].

I reccomend, as a first book, "Automate the boring stuff with Python". It may be rustic or dirty, but it gets the job done for anyone with some enthusiasm and a problem to solve. If you want to be a tidier or more pythonic programmer, or want to learn OOP, you can get that going on later.

Is Python Crash Course a good choice?
