A full translation of "Learn Python the Hard Way"?

On duty, I teach schoolchildren / lyceum students C # (.NET) (this language is also the main working language), but in my opinion it is not very suitable for the role of "first" because of the huge number of special terms, unnecessary (at this stage) rigor and generally has a fairly high entry threshold (I did not write the course itself and the training literature).
After reading about the fact that programming is often taught over the hill with Python, I began to look for various guides and so far have not found a more adequate one than Learn python the hard way. I immediately began to look for a translation into Russian, I found a very old and incomplete translation into notabenoid. On some sites, the preface was not translated at all. But in general, I really liked the idea with Python - the language is concise, a very good way to parse algorithms and the basic principles of programming. I did run into a little quirk with Unicode in the console, but that's fixable.
Actually the question itself - is there any resource with a translation of this "book" that does not want to google in any way? Or maybe there are other guides of this kind in Russian? It is clear that students should be forced to learn English. Most of them, in fact, teach, but at this age, far from everyone has enough experience to read literature of this kind.
The question is not time-critical, if you suddenly read it after a long time after it (the question) was created, and you have something to say - do not be shy.
(Regarding Ruby. The translation of Learn Ruby the Hard Way is still worse, completely muffled)

I wrote to the author. He + the publisher owns the rights to the book; he is ready to consider the translation on a contractual basis with the transfer of translation rights to him + the publisher. He does not know the finished translation, and neither do I.
I asked him if it was possible to translate his book and sell or make it available to the public under any conditions, a piece of the answer is here:

Hey Egor, sorry but the book is copyright by me and my publisher.

My publisher handles most of the translations but they're very slow. If you're interested in translating it for me and are willing to be paid a flat fee then we can work out a work-for-hire contract. That means you don't own the end results, I do, but you get your name as the translator.

I would recommend lectures from Google Developer. They are simply excellent!
And their English is very, very basic.

This question has been asked before - Python: an interactive course in Russian? - may be of some help...

The translation of the book into Russian was published by the Eksmo publishing house in 2019:
