pros and cons of C++ vs Python - opinions please

[Brian Duffy]

Need more info on your architecture. Generally speaking though, I agree
with previous comment ... stick to what you know unless it is really
unsuited to what you are trying to accomplish. How will you need to
distribute your application? Also, Vala has some nice bindings to gstreamer
as well, if that appeals to you.
