Well, I haven't audited the source directly, but it looks like you have
a mix of interpreted code (Python) and compiled code (C++). Your
compiled code is LGPLv2+ and GPLv2+ and MIT. The interpreted code is
GPLv2+. If they both ended up in the same package, I would say that this
is fine:

License: GPLv2+ and MIT and CC-BY-SA

If you wish, this is also correct:

License: GPLv2+ and (LGPLv2+ and GPLv2+ and MIT) and CC-BY-SA
