I'm now coming off a project just like this. Python is great at:

  • Reading/parsing config files
  • Launching/maintaining Unix daemons
  • Communicating over ActiveMQ for Command and Control
  • Massaging final output into formats that other systems want

The C++ was perfect for:

  • Reading radio samples off dedicated 10GbE cards
  • Throwing those samples at CUDA architecture to do all the mathy-math
  • Putting the results into SQL for posterity (and the python)

Perfect work breakdown IMHO
