Framework for building message queues.

MQ Factory

A framework for building message queues using Python

Rationale

I needed a Persistent Message Queue endpoint on top of an MQTT client, with message acknowledgement, timeouts, retries and signing & validation using a public/private keypair. A quick search delivered persist-queue, which seemed to cover most what I was looking for. But after implementing part of my requirements, I hit some bumps in the road. To work around them I would almost have to implement the entire solution, so little added value was still to be found in reusing the existing module. Starting from scratch also allowed me to explore a few new things and introduce some other ideas.

After a first rough implementation, specific for my original use case, I felt that it was hard to test it nicely as-is. Breaking it down in several very composable components, allowed for vastly improved unit tests and in the end resulted in a nice reusable module.
