## Installation

If you want to use it with [RabbitMQ]

pipenv install 'dramatiq[rabbitmq, watch]'

or if you want to use it with [Redis]

pipenv install 'dramatiq[redis, watch]'


## Quickstart

Make sure you've got [RabbitMQ] running, then create a new file called
`example.py`:

``` python
import dramatiq
import requests
import sys

@dramatiq.actor
def count_words(url):
response = requests.get(url)
count = len(response.text.split(" "))
print(f"There are {count} words at {url!r}.")


if __name__ == "__main__":
count_words.send(sys.argv[1])
```

In one terminal, run your workers:
