Hello Paolo, thanks for your interest.  The plugin I'm thinking of is an
application that deals with large amounts of data, so I thought in using C++
because I suppose C++ programs run faster than Python ones (is this right?),
which is a desirable feature in this type of applications.  Anyway, I can't
proof this at this time.  Also, I have a little more knowledge and
experience on C++ programming.  Finally, I have a question: Is the complete
QGIS API available for developers of Python plugins (as is the case for C++
plugins) or is there any restriction in the API for Python plugins?  I mean,
the QGIS API that developers of QGIS plugins can use in the development
process is the same API that is used by developers of C++ plugins, or it is
a restricted or limited version of it?

Regards.
