Twisted AMP meets all your requirements except C support, which you
could probably add. (Or maybe avoid adding by using some other way
to bridge C computing code with Python network code, like ctypes.)
Also take a look at Google's Protocol Buffers, which lacks C support but
has C++ support. A Twisted version called txprotobuf was recently
announced. (Note that Protocol Buffers isn't really a full RPC system,
just the serialization part.)
I think combining these two might work nicely, though I haven't tried it
yet.
