Python client implementation for Apache Qpid
Project description
This distribution contains the Python client libraries for Apache Qpid.
Apache Qpid is a high-speed, language independent, platform independent enterprise messaging system. It currently provides two messaging brokers (one implemented in C++, one implemented in Java), and messaging client libraries for Java JMS, C++, C# .NET, Python, Ruby, and WCF. The messaging protocol for Apache Qpid is AMQP (Advanced Message Queuing Protocol). You can read more about Qpid here:
Documentation can be found here:
= GETTING STARTED =
1. Make sure the Qpid Python client libraries are on your PYTHONPATH. If you have extracted the archive to the directory INSTALLPATH, the following export will work:
$ export PYTHONPATH=${PYTHONPATH}:${INSTALLPATH}/qpid-0.8/python
Make sure a broker is running
Run the ‘hello’ example from qpid-0.8/python/examples/api:
$ ./hello Hello world!
= EXAMPLES =
The examples/api directory contains several examples.
Read examples/README.txt for further details on these examples.
= RUNNING THE TESTS =
The “tests” directory contains a collection of unit tests for the python client. The “tests_0-10”, “tests_0-9”, and “tests_0-8” directories contain protocol level conformance tests for AMQP brokers of the specified version.
The qpid-python-test script may be used to run these tests. It will by default run the python unit tests and the 0-10 conformance tests:
Run a broker on the default port
./qpid-python-test
If you wish to run the 0-8 or 0-9 conformence tests, they may be selected as follows:
Run a broker on the default port
./qpid-python-test tests_0-8.*
– or –
./qpid-python-test tests_0-9.*
See the qpid-python-test usage for for additional options:
./qpid-python-test -h
