>>> import msgpack >>> msgpack.packb([1, 2, 3]) '\x93\x01\x02\x03' >>> msgpack.unpackb(_) (1, 2, 3)
unpack unpacks msgpack’s array to Python’s tuple. To unpack it to list, Use use_list option.
>>> msgpack.unpackb(b'\x93\x01\x02\x03', use_list=True) [1, 2, 3]

streaming unpacking
Unpacker is “streaming unpacker”. It unpacks multiple objects from one stream.
import msgpack
from io import BytesIO
buf = BytesIO()
for i in range(100):
buf.write(msgpack.packb(range(i)))
buf.seek(0)
unpacker = msgpack.Unpacker()
while True:
data = buf.read(4)
if not data:
break
unpacker.seed(buf.read(16))
for unpacked in unpacker:
print unpacked
