I think what Eli is trying to tell you is this:
If you use Python, you can use the existing python<->C bridges. If you use
C++, you can't count on being able to use new /delete or anything that uses
them (which will include a huge chunk of C++, and probably a huge chunk of Qt).
If I understand you correctly, you're trying to communicate the idea ``yeah,
it'll probably be rough, but I'm comfortable with C++ and am willing to try to
make it work''. Unfortunately, what you're saying is much closer to ``how hard
can it be?'' -- which leads many people (especially programmers) to answer the
question -- and in this case it can be really quite hard.
I hope this helps.
