Godot is really lightweight and the scripting (gdscript) is similar to python. It can be a bit rough around the edges but is my go to when making small games.
The documentation is pretty good,but nowhere near as available as something like unity. If I can't find something in the docs,I've been using https://www.phind.com/ to generate a snippet which does a pretty good job of getting me going.
I'm by no means an expert,but if you have any questions feel free to reach out and I'll help if I can!
Godot is opensource and uses a scripting language pretty similar to Python.
That's two votes for Godot -- we'll take a look into that!
Adding this here so you'll see it, but Humble Bundle has a huge python book bundle going on right now.
I 2nd GoDOT, but I also recommend the Learn Python books from No Starch Press, they have several books for kids & learning while making games.
