Answer 4

Here are the lessons slusar.su/tag/python I did it for myself. Everything in simple and accessible language

Answer 5

Of course, at the expense of Lutz or not Lutz is debatable. In general, the charm of Lutz is that everything is very accessible! Even to a person with zero knowledge of Python. Well, you can fix Lutz by watching video lectures from the Lectorium (read by E. Tuzova), interesting.
It seems to me the most favorable material for beginners ...
