Neil Schemenauer already responded about adding terminators and such to
indicate end of message for homegrown protocols. I will go a bit off-topic
and suggest that unless one of the following is true:
* you are using this exercise solely for a bit of education, or
* you will be speaking to a service for which there is already an
existing protocol but for which Python doesn't already provide a
library (this excludes protocols like FTP, Telnet, NNTP and SMTP)
that you look at using something like XML-RPC, which already exists and is
supported by many libraries written in many different languages (including
Python, of course). XML-RPC can be found at http://www.xmlrpc.com/.
