qtzmq 0.1.3

Qt-friendly ZeroMQ bindings for PySide and PyQt applications

qtzmq

Qt-friendly ZeroMQ bindings for Python.

qtzmq provides lightweight wrappers around ZeroMQ sockets that expose incoming messages as Qt signals.
It is designed for PySide6 and PyQt applications that need to consume streaming data without blocking the GUI thread.

The library handles:

• ZeroMQ socket setup
• background worker threads
• safe interaction with the Qt event loop
• clean message dispatch through Qt signals

Why qtzmq?

When building Qt applications that use ZeroMQ, developers usually need to write the same boilerplate:

• create a ZeroMQ socket
• run a background thread
• receive messages
• emit Qt signals
• manage shutdown safely

qtzmq provides a small reusable layer that removes this boilerplate and exposes a simple API.

Supported Messaging Patterns

The library currently implements wrappers for the core ZeroMQ messaging patterns:

Pattern	Class
SUB	QtSubscriber
PUB	QtPublisher
REQ	QtRequester
REP	QtReplier

Installation

pip install qtzmq
