1. The Spread toolkit.  There is a Python binding.  I've used it before 
(version 3.17); it works well.  http://www.spread.org/

2. XMPP, the protocol behind Jabber.  Some people believe it is going to 
get very popular.

3. Something on top of Google's new Protocol Buffers.  I can't tell you 
the number of times I've wanted something generic like protobuf.
