It depends. There are good wrappers out there, I personally prefer SIP. However, a mixed language environment is always a PITA, especially for distribution. If you can, write everything in python. Identify bottlenecks, and if you must, I suggest using C + ctypes for performance-critical code. Obviously it's a matter of taste, but C++ is a beast, and getting it to work seamless under varying compilers and OSes could be avoided using plain C.
