thoth-messaging 0.4.0

Messaging module of Project Thoth

This provides a library called thoth-messaging used in project Thoth. It is a basic module to encapsule all messaging (here it is Kafka via Faust) primitives.

Message Factory

For the purposes of Thoth we have a few of our custom messages defined within the messaging module. However, we wanted to allow individuals to be able to use our module without having to add their own messages first. For testing and development purposes you can use message_factory(…) which allows you to create arbitrary messages using thoth-messaging using the following syntax:

` message_factory(t_name=<str>, message_contents=<dict<str, type>>, [num_partitions=<int>], [replication_factor=<int>]) ` bracketed arguments are optional.
