Protobufs are great if for no other reason the excellent docs, but
like you mentioned the python implementation is suffering because
there's only a pure-python implementation (which makes sense for
appengine). And often it's decent enough for tiny-to-small objects.
We've benched pb vs thrift as well, and decided to go with thrift
because of improved python performance. The extra features are pretty
handy too though. :)
For simplicity in messaging, it's hard to beat JSON though. It works,
everywhere and in all languages with minimum fuss. If you don't need
strict typing / protocols, it's all good.
