C++ is just plain difficult.  If C++ is your goal, either C or Java might be
a good intermediate language.  Both are both simple enough for beginners to
learn (although not as simple as Python).

As for Python itself, you probably don't need a book on the language.  You
should, however, get a good book on data structures and algorithms.  I don't
know of any such book for Python, but there are several for C, C++, and
Java.
