What's a good Python book for beginners?

Hello Everyone, I would like to start programming. About a month ago I bought a Python video course on Udemy 550 rupees. Unfortunately, after learning the basics, I was no longer able to follow the course. The "simple" things were explained too long and the "difficult" too little.
Now I'm working through the Python Online Tutorial. I'm also interested in a book. It should contain all the basics again and be easy to understand. It is important to me to learn the language cleanly from the ground up. I have checked on Amazon to buy a book with the help of this source but I am confused about which author book is good between Eric Matthes, David Beazely, and Mark Lutz.
In addition, I am interested in a subsequent book on machine learning with Python.
I am very happy about your suggestions.
Best regards

Automate The Boring Stuff by Al Sweigart is completely free on his site:
https://automatetheboringstuff.com/
Scroll down to 'Table of Contents' and you're set.
I recommend this because this is a good book to get you started to figure out some cool packages for related projects to literally make your life easier.
I've made a few webscrapers from these ideas, so its a cool book.
I'd say focus on the projects, put them up either on GitHub or your self-hosted Git repo, and keep making projects.
Projects are the key imo.
