I use Python when speed of development is far more important than speed of execution.

I use C/C++ when speed of execution is priority and I don't care about being cross-platform.

Though for what it's worth, I've only been a software engineer using Python for two years, and I have yet to use C/C++ outside of small personal projects and school.
