pyqttier 0.2.1

Convenient wrapper around Paho MQTT

PyQTTier

A Python MQTT client library providing a clean, type-safe wrapper around paho-mqtt with support for MQTT 5.0 features.

Features

• MQTT 5.0 Support - Full support for MQTT 5.0 protocol features including message properties, correlation data, and response topics
• Type Safety - Strongly typed with mypy-checked type hints for reliability
• Multiple Transports - Supports TCP, WebSocket, and Unix socket connections
• Mock Implementation - Built-in MockConnection for easy testing without a broker
• Python 3.7+ - Compatible with Python 3.7 through 3.12

Installation

pip install pyqttier

Quick Start

Basic Usage

from pyqttier.connection import Mqtt5Connection
from pyqttier.transport import MqttTransport, MqttTransportType
from pyqttier.message import Message

# Connect to broker
transport = MqttTransport(MqttTransportType.TCP, host="localhost", port=1883)
conn = Mqtt5Connection(transport=transport, client_id="my-client")

# Subscribe to a topic
def on_message(msg: Message):
    print(f"Received: {msg.payload.decode()}")

conn.subscribe("sensors/temperature", callback=on_message)

# Publish a message
msg = Message(topic="sensors/temperature", payload=b"23.5", qos=1)
conn.publish(msg)

Testing with MockConnection

from pyqttier.mock import MockConnection
from pyqttier.message import Message

# Create mock connection for testing
conn = MockConnection()

# Publish and verify
conn.publish(Message(topic="test", payload=b"data", qos=1))
assert len(conn.published_messages) == 1
assert conn.published_messages[0].topic == "test"
