I'm giving a talk [1] at PyCon AU in a few weeks on a similar topic. Though you're suggesting Python/C++ and I'm covering MicroPython/C.

The concept is to use MicroPython on embedded devices but, if performance is lacking, drop into C to create a module that can be easily accessed from MicroPython.

I've found this to be an exceptionally productive embedded development environment!
