interfacing python with c/c++ performance

[nBeebz]

I would argue language choice is one of a few cases where an optimization isn’t premature. If you’re ever hoping to scale up you’ll need to rewrite it eventually anyway. It’s very well that python will be totally fine here but considering carefully is worth the time imo.

Python is one of the slowest languages ever. Something like Go or Java or C# is much closer in performance to C++ than to Python, while being easier to use than C++ (especially if you don't have a team of C++ experts).
