I think EOFError conveys more information. UnpicklingError can mean a lot of things, EOFError tells you the precise problem: pickle expected more data, but there was nothing left. I think EOFError should be used for EOF between pickles, but UnpicklingError should be used for EOF in the middle of a pickle. The former is not necessarily an error, but the latter definitely is.
Why is hitting the end of a file between pickles an error?
