I wouldn't recommend you buy it sight unseen, but _Mastering Algorithms with
Perl_ might be helpful if you can browse it in a bookstore. On the downside,
it does use perlisms and reference some modules that don't have a direct
equivalency, but seldom uses the furrier constructs.

Sara Baase's _Computer Algorithms_  uses a pascal/modula2 pseudocode that
really doesn't look all that different from Python. Sedgewick's C version
might be a little clearer than the C++ one. Really, the concepts are what
you are looking for; figuring out the implementation details for a
particular language will strengthen your grasp on that language.
