This is somewhat off topic, but my reference is
Stroustrup, Bjarne: The C++ Programming Language, Special Edition

The really good C++ book for me was
Meyers, Scott: Effective C++, 2nd ed. This WILL teach you the
things you don't know already from Python...
Meyers have also written
More Effective C++
Effectice C++ CD (The above two books on CD-ROM) and
Effective STL.
