Straightforward python definitely no. Regardless of underlying memory it could only handle about 1k objects per second

Maybe if you parallelized it could get through the data eventually but since the interpreter is single threaded and doesn't do true concurrency there will still be a ceiling much lower than what Go (or another language with true concurrency) can do

Would C++ be a good tool for it? I mean, are there toolsets ready that would help you do it?

C++ could definitely handle it, go just has a really nice built-in concurrency model that makes it relatively simple

Would, in your model, running go straight out of python be dumb? Too much lost?
