access to sqlite database through python or directly from c++

I have a database in sqlite. In order to access it I use some python functions - for every table I create there own pair of functions. At least for python. My main application is in c++.

For example for items_table I create functions select_items & update_items (because I do not plan to add there remove operation for now).

Originally I wanted to do like this:

1. create database in sqlite3
2. create python layer with partial crud implementation
3. make wrapped object in c++ for every table (like ItemStorage which calls python functions)
4. use wrapped object in application

However the question is - it worth it? I mean I can access sqlite directly from c++ and it will be basically the same as in python. I created python out of pure interest but in the end - do I need python layer or not?
