Yes, if only to see how many of the design patterns in C++ are not applicable to Python ;) But seriously, the Gang of Four book is the classic book for design patterns. I agree that it is required reading, but it probably requires a working knowledge of basic OO design to get much out of it. At a more basic level a good UML primer (such as Page-Jones' 'Fundamentals of OO Design in UML') will get you thinking about OO Design and is worth a look. If only to see how many of the Java-like concepts are not applicable to Python. Has anyone looked at, and have any opinions about, this rather expensive tome?
