wukongqueue

A lightweight and convenient cross process FIFO queue service based on TCP protocol.

---

wukongqueue's local queue service is developed based on Python standard library queue.

Features

• Fast (directly based on tcp long-running connection)
• Multi-producer and Multi-consumer from different threads/processes
• Easy to use, APIs' usage like stdlib queue
• Allow to set authentication key for connection to server

Requirements

• Python3.5+ (need type hints)

Install

pip install wukongqueue

Examples

server.py

from wukongqueue import WuKongQueue
import time
# start a queue server
svr = WuKongQueue(host='127.0.0.1',port=666,max_conns=10,max_size=0)
with svr:
    print("svr is started!")
    svr.put(b"1")
    time.sleep(10)
    svr.put(b"2")
    print("wait for clients...")
    time.sleep(10)
print("putted b'1' and b'2', svr closed!")

clientA.py

from wukongqueue import WuKongQueueClient
client = WuKongQueueClient(host='127.0.0.1', port=666)
with client:
    print("got",client.get()) # b"1"
    client.task_done()
    print("after 10 seconds, got",client.get(block=True)) # wait for 3 seconds, then print b"2"
    client.task_done()
    print("clientA: all task done!")

clientB.py

from wukongqueue import WuKongQueueClient
client = WuKongQueueClient(host='127.0.0.1', port=666)
with client:
    client.join()
    print("clientB all task done!")

Then start these three program in order, you can see the following print:

# server.py print firstly
svr is started! (immediately)
wait for clients... (+3 seconds)
putted b'1' and b'2', svr closed! (+10s)

# clientA print secondly
got b'1' (immediately)
after 3 seconds, got b'2' (+3 seconds)
clientA: all task done!

# clientB print lastly
clientB all task done! (same as clientA last print)

Currently, the get and put methods on the server and client only support bytes and strings, but in the end, they still communicate between processes in bytes.

The server's usage of with is exactly the same.
