If you have programming mileage, learning Python in terms of syntax and functionalities will not be a huge challenge for you. But since you come from a C/C++ background, your main focus should be taking on Python's mentality. For many it is not easy to shake off the way of thinking we/they acquired from other languages.
You are emphasizing learning Python quick. As far as technicalities go you can learn it quick - especially with some programming background. But the other important part - Pythonic way of thinking - may take some time and lines of code to sink in. That will vary from person to person I guess.
The video series you linked seems good, you will learn all (or most) of the basic building blocks of Python. Armed with that you can set out to translate some of your C/C++ code to Python. Ultimately do what drives you to learn Python in the first place (GUIs, data science, task automation, web development...?). If you will have any questions/issues we are here to help. And if you produce working code, but want to get feedback on whether it is good style and quality, we have Completed Scripts/Snippets subforum for code review. Welcome and good luck!
