rabbitpy
A pure-Python, thread-safe, minimalistic RabbitMQ client library.
rabbitpy provides a straightforward API for working with RabbitMQ. Connections, channels, queues, exchanges, and messages are plain Python objects. The library handles the AMQP protocol details so you don't have to.
Installation
pip install rabbitpy
Requirements
- Python 3.11+
- RabbitMQ 3.8+
Quick start
Publish a message
import rabbitpy
with rabbitpy.Connection('amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/%2f') as conn:
with conn.channel() as channel:
exchange = rabbitpy.Exchange(channel, 'my-exchange')
exchange.declare()
queue = rabbitpy.Queue(channel, 'my-queue')
queue.declare()
queue.bind(exchange, 'my-routing-key')
message = rabbitpy.Message(channel, 'Hello, world!')
message.publish(exchange, 'my-routing-key')
Consume messages
import rabbitpy
with rabbitpy.Connection('amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/%2f') as conn:
with conn.channel() as channel:
for message in rabbitpy.Queue(channel, 'my-queue'):
print(message.body)
message.ack()
Get a single message
import rabbitpy
with rabbitpy.Connection('amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/%2f') as conn:
with conn.channel() as channel:
queue = rabbitpy.Queue(channel, 'my-queue')
message = queue.get()
if message:
print(message.body)
message.ack()
Publish with confirmations
import rabbitpy
with rabbitpy.Connection('amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/%2f') as conn:
with conn.channel() as channel:
channel.enable_publisher_confirms()
message = rabbitpy.Message(channel, 'Hello, world!')
if message.publish('', routing_key='my-queue'):
print('Confirmed by broker')
Transactional publishing
import rabbitpy
with rabbitpy.Connection('amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/%2f') as conn:
with conn.channel() as channel:
tx = rabbitpy.Tx(channel)
tx.select()
message = rabbitpy.Message(channel, 'Hello, world!')
message.publish('', routing_key='my-queue')
tx.commit()
Simple one-liner API
For scripts and simple use cases, rabbitpy provides module-level functions that manage the connection and channel for you:
import rabbitpy
# Publish
rabbitpy.publish('amqp://localhost/%2f', routing_key='my-queue', body=b'hello')
# Get
message = rabbitpy.get('amqp://localhost/%2f', queue_name='my-queue')
# Consume
for message in rabbitpy.consume('amqp://localhost/%2f', queue_name='my-queue'):
print(message.body)
message.ack()
break
