Parsing a user defined protocol from C and Python

I need to define a binary protocol and use it from both C and Python written application. My question is, what is the right tool for the job so I won't need to implement the protocol parsing and building code in C and Python? I heard about Google's Protocol Buffers but their C implementation is not mature enough for the protocol. Is their a better substitute?

Take a look at MessagePack.

Look for state machine compilers like Ragel. They will generate compilable code based on a state machine specification.
