eiffellib 1.0.2

Python library for sending and receiving Eiffel events

Eiffellib is a python library for subscribing to and publishing Eiffel events to a message-broker.

Description

Eiffellib solves the problem of publishing Eiffel events and subscribing to events, removing the need of knowing how to connect to a message-broker or how to utilize the protocol it supplies.

With Eiffellib you can start subscribing to and publish valid Eiffel messages quickly and to get a feel for the event protocol.

It is designed to be fast and easy to start using while still being production quality.

Subscribing to an event

import time
from eiffellib.subscribers import RabbitMQSubscriber


def callback(event, context):
    print(event.pretty)

SUBSCRIBER = RabbitMQSubscriber(host="127.0.0.1", port=5672, ssl=False,
                                queue="eiffel", exchange="amq.fanout")
SUBSCRIBER.subscribe("EiffelActivityTriggeredEvent", callback)
SUBSCRIBER.start()
while True:
    time.sleep(0.1)

Publishing an event

from eiffellib.publishers import RabbitMQPublisher
from eiffellib.events import EiffelActivityTriggeredEvent

PUBLISHER = RabbitMQPublisher(host="127.0.0.1", exchange="amq.fanout", ssl=False,
                              port=5672)
PUBLISHER.start()
ACTIVITY_TRIGGERED = EiffelActivityTriggeredEvent()
