It depends whether you want to have separate repositories (with separate working tree) or you want to have in the same repository. Actually, it does not matter all that much what decision you make now, you can always change that later -- it is very easy to unite two repositories in one, and, on contrary, it is always possible to split branches. Obviously, if you split branches having some common commits, each clone will have them. Personally, if I re-wrote some Python code in C or C++, I would probably make a separate clone just to have two working tree. If necessary, it is possible to merge changes between them using 'git pull'.
