Distributed App - C++ with Python for Portability?

[Roopan]

Hello!

I am looking at developing an enterprise-grade distributed data
sharing application - key requirements are productivity and platform
portability.

Will it be sensible to use C++ for performance-critical sections and
Python for all the glue logic.

Pls comment from your *experiences* how Python scales to large
projects( > 200KLOC).
I assume the C++/Python binding is fairly painless.

Elam.
