Python is often slower, but most of the time fast enough
and it is much easier and more fun
any you are much more productive with python than with C++
some differences:
- Python has no Pointers
- no need for memery management (python does is for you)
- much better and more powerful standard library
- more portable
- regular expressions


just try out python, you will like it

After I learned Python and Ruby (http://www.ruby-lang.org)
I do all my development in my freetime (at work we use C/C++, Perl)
in Python und Ruby.
