I can think of two landmines that make most C++ issues pale. First is things blowing up at run-time due to typos or syntax errors. Second (related) is that you can't safely refactor because you don't really know the types that functions take or where they're being called from. Sure C++ can be a pain but you can build and maintain very large software in C++. It's a lot harder to do in Python (without taking other considerations into account).
