A good C++ book from the perspective of a Python programmer would be
one proclaiming that C++ is deprecated as a language, and it has
become illegal to develop software with it.

I don't think that's possible, considering the nature of the
language. Templates are closest to the Python way as far as C++
technologies go, but they are very unpythonic in their complexity.

Stroustrup book, already mentioned by others, is the one if you just
need a "refresh" your knowledge. "Effective C++" and "More effective
C++" are also great to learn about all the nasty gotchas that your
Python experience might make you neglect. They are also certain to
deepen your appreciation of Python ;-).
