Deserialize list of objects using protobuf

Question

I'm building a C# server and python client app with socket communication. The server sends serialized list of objects to client, but I've got no idea (and couldn't find either) how to deserialize a list in python. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Allright, I found solution if anyone is interested. The trick is to create a new message type and add original one as repeated. Here's how

message TransactionPackets {
    repeated TransactionPacket packet = 1;
}

message TransactionPacket {
    required int32 trans_id = 1;
    required string user_id = 2;
    required int64 date = 3;
}

Now I can simply deserialize a list of objects by calling TransactionPackets.ParseFromString()
