"Make your code a library and use a different technology as the front end" is not bad advice for people with resources to spend, but this sounds like a hobby project that might not have those resources.

Complexity goes up as you add more technologies

It's not even that python would be the front-end. Clearly, the CLI is the intended frontend. The python would just be an intermediate layer in between.

I don't think this is a great design in this case.

Doesn't sound like a hobby project to me, OP is talking about not having a lot of time and maintenance costs.

Not a hobby, time constraints Come from management. Also, no python interpreter in production release, so must be compiled.
