Hello, I'd like to announce Prophy, the serialization protocol. It has a schema language and compiler generating codecs for Python and C++. It's aimed to provide tools similar to Google Protobuf to handle messages of XDR-like wire format: no tags, unpacked ints, padding for alignment.
Reason for starting up the project when so many outstanding serialization protocols exist is the simplicity of native binary wire format. Prophy lets severely restricted embedded environments to encode messages efficiently (in-place) and allows acceptance tests and cooperating devices to use automatic but more resource-hungry codecs.

Before 1.0 I plan to do: - Python 3 support, - full C++ codec (structs and unions with vectors instead of arrays and generated encode, decode, print methods), - language enhancements (includes, inner definitions, bool, string). Feel free to provide feedback.
