C++ or Python

Hey /prog/, I'm a biochemist building a website for a Biology project, and I'm going to have to include NCBI's BLAST+ tools in it eventually. So I was just wondering, would it be better to use the c++ tools that they offer, or would it be better to try to re-write everything in python, since that's what the rest of the backend is written in?

Actually, Python doesn't follow all trends (though parts of the standard library did/do follow some Java disease), and it's not really like RoR. The main problem with Python is that instead of getting the best possible language (with such an awesome library and support, I have to admit), you get the most Pythonic language, for an arbitrary, stupid definition of Pythonic only Guido and his gang of idiots know and care for.
