If it were me, I would have raised it to the boss of the manager, and see who wins.

Isnt it a no-brainer? at the end of the day you get to choose from a non-working code or a perfectly working code. who gives a doodle about what language it was written in?

Why don’t you embed the Python interpreter in a C++ wrapper, and call it a scripting language…

It’s still a C++ solution, just with embedded extensibility…

I agree, with the fact that some devs are over-worried about over-hauling apps, in fact, i myself once tryied to learn Assembler just for the fun of it (however, all i ever managed to do was to print my name 20 times),

what worries me the most, is the fact that C#, and VBS.NET seem to be the next beast to beat (if java doesnt beat them to it), and quite a beast indeed, with APIS burried deep inside windows, and possibly hidden stuff, that will make devs crazy,

It seems like the time to start preparing for the next beast!

I do feel sorry for that poor colleague of yours. I do see hope for productive languages as long as people like yourselves keep exposing them to C++ programmers in such environments you describe. The managers will suddenly open their eyes when they see that the programmers develop better code during late night wine drinking sessions…
