I agree. It's very easy to use the templates to do just that. Once you have them processed and saved as a variable (which would be a string) then you can do anything with them that Python is capable of. For example, you could use them to generate emails, save text files, etc...
As far as calling C++ goes -- you could use subprocess if the C++ is an actual executable program and not just a library you're trying to call or some source you've written yourself. In the latter two cases, ignore Django and think about this in terms of "Accessing C++ from Python". Googling that will lead to several answers. The easiest way I've found is to externalize C functions that call C++ code and use Python CTypes (included in the standard library) to call those external C functions. Good luck!
