The branding as "pynetworktables" was tied in my brain to Python...
Best,

Correct. The python stuff is just a wrapper around the C++ implementation

More importantly to note, the C++ implementation is the same implementation that the robot is running (e.g., that's why the repository is called WPILib), with some minimal changes to make it work on Windows/Linux. So ideally, the code should work as well as the code that's running on the robot.
