impulsare-distributer 1.0b4

Overview

A queue manager based on rq and made for impulsare. It helps to : - add items to a queue - listen for a queue via a cli listener

See tests/static/ for examples of configuration.

Installation / Usage

To install use pip:

$ pip install --upgrade impulsare-distributer

Configuration

You need to create/add to your configuration file:

distributer:
    # Required, redis address
    host: 192.168.108.3

    # Optional
    port: 6379

# If a component needs to send data to a queue,
# define here where what is the queue's name (next one)
# used by impulsare-ruler to send to writer for example (ruler: {queue: writer})
testqueue:
    queue: my_test_queue

Listener

This is a simple implementation of rq's worker. If you need to listen for a queue, no need to have a config file, run in cli:

$ queue-listener --host redis --queue my_test_queue

To be able to see the next example working, keep that opened in a separate window.

Queue Usage

To use the queue manager, and send jobs to be processed:

from impulsare_distributer import QueueManager
from mymodule import my_method


queue = QueueManager(config_file='tests/static/config_valid.yml', listener='testqueue')
queue.add(method=my_method, item='Hello World', job='test')

Development & Tests

$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
$ py.test

If you run your tests with a different redis server than localhost:

$ REDIS=redis py.test
