A really bad idea.

I think what's making the difference here is the quality/depth of the
reference guides, not the actual languages.  A "C/C++" reference that is
a total of 16 pages simply not comparable to a Python reference that is
124 pages.  C and C++ (two different languages, by the way) are not
about 8 times simpler than Python.  Far from it, in fact.
