[Python-Dev] pickle self-delimiting

Hi,

Unless I'm mistaken, pickle's documentation doesn't mention that the pickle
wire-format is self-delimiting. Is there any reason why it's not documented?

The reason I'm asking is because I've seen some code out there doing its
own ad-hoc length-prefix framing.

Cheers,

cf
