How many lines of C++ would be necessary to replace each Python line? Let's make a table:

Expansion Expanded 1 to 1: 75/ 17 --> 75% 17% 1 to 3: 75/ 51 --> 56% 38% 1 to 5: 75/ 85 --> 45% 51% 1 to 10: 75/170 --> 30% 67%

The LOC doesn't measure how many features are implemented in each language. If a language is more verbose or need more detailed management the same features will appear to be longer.
