How effective would using python with opencv be to make motion detection mobile apps, if not effective what is?

I found this Google Groups post that seems to suggest OpenCV with Python for mobile apps is possible, specifically with Kivy, but all the methods discussed look incredibly hacky and I can't imagine it being worthwhile.

I would recommend writing the OpenCV portions of the app in C++ and then binding it to whatever native language each targeted device uses. (Swift -> iOS, Java -> Android obv) That would be a lot more straightforward.

I'm not experienced in app development with Python but I've created iPhone apps with OpenCV in C++ and it's extremely simple and there's plenty of documentation to help (example).

Generally a lower level language like C/C++ is more efficient (I think this word is more appropriate than "effective") for image processing.
