Check ZeroMQ and CrossRoads-IO (fork of ZeroMQ).
For serializing there is MessagePack

Hello, I have been writing a game engine for to teach myself about SDL
for quite a while now. The engine has reached a level of complexity
that I feel it would be beneficial to have a external debugging
program to aid in development. More precisely I would like to be able
to pause/unpause the game and track objects [and their variables]
without too much extra coding effort.

I'll probably be writing the debugging application in python, but
thats not terribly relevant to the question. My question is how should
implement inter-process communications ? What libraries could I use to
achieve communication in-between two programs quickly and painlessly ?
(SDL_Net, Sockets, D-Bus, etc ...) Development is almost exclusively
on Linux so I don't care if it would break cross platform
compatibility.

If anyone has some words of wisdom it would be greatly appreciated.
