C++ may let you "squeeze every bit of performance," but in a lot of cases it does so by handing you a lot of rope.
You might use it to make a rope bridge across that performance gap, but how good your bridge is depends a lot on you - and if you just manage to hang yourself with it, well, that's on you as well.
With Python it may take longer to get across because you detour a mile over to a more solidly constructed bridge, but you still get there and for most cases you get there fast enough.
