Thrift is awesome. I just wrote a toy in-memory queue server with it in Python, and right off the bat it happily handles ~2200 requests/sec on my laptop (running inside a Colinux VM, which is limited to only using one CPU core).
I've thrown the code up on github, if anyone's interested: simple-thrift-queue.
