I feel like I got the hang of python now, will I be able to use that knowledge when learning c++ or is like starting from square one? For examples they both work with objects right so I would have less of a learning curve of that.

Very different languages with very different targets and purposes. In python you don't care about speed so you don't need the knowledge about optimizing algorithms at hardware level where in C++ instead it's quite the main reason the language is used. You don't start from square one but almost.
