title: Should I use a code converter (Python to C++)?
body: <p>Let me just say right off the bat that i'm not a programmer. I'm just a guy with an idea taking his first steps to make it a reality. I'm no stranger to programming, mind you, but some of the concepts and terminology here are way over my head; so i apologize in advance if this question was answered before (i.e. <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4650243/convert-python-program-to-c-c-code">Convert Python program to C/C++ code?</a>).</p>
  
  <p>I have an idea to create a simple A.I. network to analyze music data sent from a phone via cloud computing (I got a guy for the cloud stuff). It will require a lot of memory and need to be fast for the hard number-crunching. I had planned on doing it in python, but have since learned that might not be such a good idea (<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/801657/is-python-faster-and-lighter-than-c">Is Python faster and lighter than C++?</a>).</p>
  
  <p>Since python is really the only gun i have in my holster, i was thinking of using a python-to-C++-converter.  But nothing comes without a price:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Is this an advantageous way to keep my code fast?</li>
  <li>What's the give-and-take for using a converter?</li>
  <li>Am i missing anything? I'm still new to this so i'm not even sure what questions to ask.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
