Maybe it is a complaint, but it's still a fact of life: your code is not reusable without wrapping it in C.
The reality is that C++ is not as reusable as C is: ever wonder why there are so few reused libraries written in C++, while they are so many in C?
Look on your system now - it's filled with C libraries, while the C++ libraries are probably a rounding error.
Write exception-free external APIs. It's not that hard.

Write an API that doesn't overload functions?

Write an API around that. You'd need to do it in C anyway.

What?

If you can call a function, you can call a method.
Your complaint is basically "you cannot write C++ in Python". Duh.
