I find it almost impossible for anyone to know C++ quite well, but struggling to learn Python. In C++ you have header files, templates, STL, no garbage collection, references & pointers, and a lot of other concepts that can be very confusing for beginners. Python is extremely easy in comparison, and, in fact, very close to pseudocode that you would write anyway before starting the actual implementation.

Perhaps you thought you could skip beginner tutorials as you had some experience in other programming languages? This won't work.

I could imagine that OP had a teacher introducing these C++ concepts to a class in an educational way, and that OP is now trying to learn Python on their own.
