Comment #6 on issue 226 by xiaof...@google.com: Python API doesn't support
reading/writing delimited messages
https://code.google.com/p/protobuf/issues/detail?id=226
I searched around our internal code base and it appears there are very few
use cases of the Message.writeDelimitedTo() method in Java. Likely for two
reasons: first, most users will just use a repeated message field if they
want to send multiple messages over the wire; second, people who want to
write multiple messages by themselves will tend to want their own
customized format as well (i.e., not just a size prefix but also other
meta-data information like the message type name). From my understanding,
the writeDelimitedTo() method in Java's MessageLIte interface shouldn't be
there in the first place. It just doesn't belong to protobuf core APIs and
more of an utility method that very few users would need.
For this reason, I don't think we should add its counter-part in Python (or
C++).
