Wouldn't you be better of using a network or distributed architecture. Use
Corba or TCP/IP protocol to let your objects interact. Saves you the trouble
of language-interoperatablility and provides possibilities for multi-user
(You're doing a LARGE game project, not?)

Where do you use C++ for anyway? GUI's? Build them in Python, forget C++
until you are done and than use C++ to speed up critical sections
