You need to read code written in Python by people who are good at it.
http://www.effbot.org and http://www.pythonware.com/library/index.htm
are a great places to start.  The Python Cookbook is also good, but
there is plenty of 'writing C++ in Python' going on there as well.
And then there is the Python Source itself....
