Installation

rabbitpy may be installed via the Python package index with the tool of your choice. I prefer pip:

But there’s always easy_install:

easy_install rabbitpy

rabbitpy is API compatible with rmqid.

Python3 Caveats

• Message bodies must use the bytes data type while most other values are strings.

Examples

Simple Publisher

The simple publisher is ideal for sending one off messages:

>>> rabbitpy.publish('amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/%2f',
                     exchange='test',
                     routing_key='example',
                     body='This is my test message')

If you want to add properties:

>>> rabbitpy.publish('amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/%2f',
                     exchange='test',
                     routing_key='example',
                     body='This is my test message',
                     properties={'content_type': 'text/plain'})

And publisher confirms:

>>> rabbitpy.publish('amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/%2f',
                     exchange='test',
                     routing_key='example',
                     body='This is my test message',
                     properties={'content_type': 'text/plain'},
                     confirm=True)
True
>>>

Simple Getter

>>> m = rabbitpy.get('amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/%2f', 'test')
>>> m.json()
{u'foo': u'bar'}

Simple Consumer

>>> with rabbitpy.consume('amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/%2f', 'test') as c:
..    for message in c.next_message():
...         print message.properties['message_id']
...         print message.body
...         message.ack()
...
