Maybe instead you should be thinking about what your task is.  There's
nothing wrong with thinking structurally and architecturally if those indeed
are your problems.

Python is a "glue" language, so I think you're implying that your problems
are more typically of a freeform nature.  If you're really saying "no no, I
do structural/architectural stuff in both, and I love Python syntax and hate
C++ syntax!" well, all I can say is the C++ works just fine when you Keep It
Simple Stupid and use it all the time.  I would like a few more editor
features for my function declarations, which seem a bit verbose, but it
hasn't been painful enough for me to go through the alternate pain of editor
evaluation.
