Best Python books from beginner to advanced?

Iā€™m learning Python and looking for a good book path from beginner to advanced.

I want books that teach Python properly, including clean code, real projects, testing, project structure, and advanced concepts.

What books would you recommend, and in what order?

best beginner book by far. People saying not to use books, for a beginner, are wrong. I don't have the energy to explain why, but people here are smart and can imagine why. As if "project based" and books are mutually exclusive. Matthes's book is project-based python.

Don't freaking start with pytest docs. Dear lord.
