About

amqpy is a pure-Python AMQP 0.9.1 client library for Python >= 3.2.0 (including PyPy3) with a focus on:

  • stability and reliability
  • well-tested and thoroughly documented code
  • clean, correct design
  • 100% compliance with the AMQP 0.9.1 protocol specification

It has very good performance, as AMQP 0.9.1 is a very efficient binary protocol, but does not sacrifice clean design and testability to save a few extra CPU cycles.

This library is actively maintained and has a zero bug policy. Please submit issues and pull requests, and bugs will be fixed immediately.

The current API is not final, but will progressively get more stable as version 1.0.0 is approached.

Guarantees

This library makes the following guarantees:

  • Semantic versioning is strictly followed
  • Compatible with Python >= 3.2.0 and PyPy3 >= 2.3.1 (Python 3.2.5)
  • AMQP 0.9.1 compliant

Features

  • Draining events from multiple channels: Connection.drain_events()
  • SSL is fully supported, it is highly recommended to use SSL when connecting to servers over the Internet.
  • Support for timeouts
  • Support for manual and automatic heartbeats
  • Fully thread-safe. Use one global connection and open one channel per thread.

Supports RabbitMQ extensions:

  • Publisher confirms: enable with Channel.confirm_select(), then use Channel.basic_publish_confirm()
  • Exchange to exchange bindings: Channel.exchange_bind() and Channel.exchange_unbind()
  • Consumer Cancel Notifications: by default a cancel results in ChannelError being raised, but not if a on_cancel callback is passed to basic_consume
