AIORMQ

Coveralls Status Build status Latest Version https://img.shields.io/pypi/wheel/aiormq.svg https://img.shields.io/pypi/pyversions/aiormq.svg https://img.shields.io/pypi/l/aiormq.svg

aiormq is a pure python AMQP client library.

Status

  • 3.x.x branch - Production/Stable

  • 4.x.x branch - Unstable (Experimental)

  • 5.x.x and greater is only Production/Stable releases.

Features

  • Connecting by URL

  • amqp example: amqp://user:password@server.host/vhost

  • secure amqp example: amqps://user:password@server.host/vhost?cafile=ca.pem&keyfile=key.pem&certfile=cert.pem&no_verify_ssl=0

  • Buffered queue for received frames

  • Only PLAIN auth mechanism support

  • Publisher confirms support

  • Transactions support

  • Channel based asynchronous locks

  • Tracking unroutable messages (Use connection.channel(on_return_raises=False) for disabling)

  • Full SSL/TLS support, using your choice of:
    • amqps:// url query parameters:
      • cafile= - string contains path to ca certificate file

      • capath= - string contains path to ca certificates

      • cadata= - base64 encoded ca certificate data

      • keyfile= - string contains path to key file

      • certfile= - string contains path to certificate file

      • no_verify_ssl - boolean disables certificates validation

    • context= SSLContext keyword argument to connect().

  • Python type hints

  • Uses pamqp as an AMQP 0.9.1 frame encoder/decoder
