Goals

Embrace Kenneth Reitz’s thoughts on the 90% rule, i.e. requests module.

Messages are serialized as needed, starting from no serialization for strings to json and falling back to yaml if the more simple open serialization methods are not capable of serializing the object/message. i.e. datetime/date/decimal/etc.

#!/usr/bin/env python

from rabbit import Producer

with Producer(uri) as producer:
    for message in <iterable/generator>:
        producer.publish(message, routing_key)

from rabbit import Consumer

with Consumer(uri, exchange, queue, routing_key) as consumer:
    consumer.attach_action(...)
    consumer.handle_messages(...)

or for even more control of exchanges and queues:

from rabbit import Consumer

with Consumer(uri) as consumer:
    consumer.declare_exchange(...)
    consumer.declare_queue(...)
    consumer.attach_action(...)
    consumer.handle_messages(...)

uri is a messge queue uri in the form, mq://user:pass@host/vhost where mq://user:pass@localhost == mq://user:pass@localhost/

Within the uri you can pass user, password, host, port and vhost information. see thumper/test/test_mquri.py for more details
