Useful RabbitMQ stuff.

Simplify interactions with RabbitMQ focusing on design patterns based on Topic Exchanges. More information can be found here: http://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/tutorial-five-python.html

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(...)
