Python 3 AMQP 0.9.1 client library

About
amqpy is a pure-Python AMQP 0.9.1 client library for Python >= 3.2.0 (including PyPy3) with a focus on:
stability
well-tested and thoroughly documented code
clean, correct design
100% compliance with the AMQP protocol specification
This library is actively maintained. Please submit issues and pull requests. Bugs will be fixed immediately.
The current API is not final, but will progressively get more stable as version 1.0.0 is approached.
This library is NOT Python 2 compatible, and will never support Python 2. If you are using Python 2, you should upgrade to Python 3 >= 3.2.0. However, this library aims to maintain backwards compatibility for all Python 3 >= 3.2.0.
Features
Draining events from multiple channels (Connection.drain_events())
SSL is fully supported, it is highly recommended to use SSL when connecting to servers over the Internet.
Support for timeouts
Support for heartbeats (client must manually send heartbeats)
Fully thread-safe
Supports RabbitMQ extensions:
Consumer Cancel Notifications: by default a cancel results in ChannelError being raised, but not if a on_cancel callback is passed to basic_consume
Publisher confirms: enable with Channel.confirm_select(), then use Channel.basic_publish_confirm
Exchange to exchange bindings: Channel.exchange_bind() and Channel.exchange_unbind()
To do (goals for version 1.0.0)
Add support for channel-level event draining, so that multiple threads can block while waiting for events on their own channels.
Add support for multiple authentication mechanisms such as CRAM-MD5 for Apache Qpid
Add support for automatic heartbeats in a separate thread
[Kombu](https://github.com/celery/kombu) compatibility
Add .json() method to Message for convenience
Add icons to Sphinx doc
# Tests
Test for strict protocol compliance and behaviour
Test for thread safety, use PyTest monkey patching facilities to patch socket to slow down reads and writes
# Low priority
Asynchronous operation, Python 3.4 asyncio support
