This setup.py works to build C++ files on Ubuntu:

I'm not sure that you really need to explicitly invoke "g++" for  
anything nowadays.  Modern "gcc" notices that the input is C++ and  
compiles it accordingly.

Could you be more specific about what doesn't work?

See also the C++ sig, where they have a lot more expertise about this:
