About

This is a fork of amqplib_ which was originally written by Barry Pederson. It is maintained by the Celery_ project, and used by kombu_ as a pure python alternative when librabbitmq_ is not available.

This library should be API compatible with librabbitmq_.

.. _amqplib: https://pypi.org/project/amqplib/ .. _Celery: http://celeryproject.org/ .. _kombu: https://kombu.readthedocs.io/ .. _librabbitmq: https://pypi.org/project/librabbitmq/

Differences from amqplib_

• Supports draining events from multiple channels (Connection.drain_events)

• Support for timeouts

• Channels are restored after channel error, instead of having to close the connection.

• Support for heartbeats

  • Connection.heartbeat_tick(rate=2) must called at regular intervals (half of the heartbeat value if rate is 2).
  • Or some other scheme by using Connection.send_heartbeat.

• Supports RabbitMQ extensions:

  • Consumer Cancel Notifications
    • by default a cancel results in ChannelError being raised
    • but not if a on_cancel callback is passed to basic_consume.
  • Publisher confirms
    • Channel.confirm_select() enables publisher confirms.
    • Channel.events['basic_ack'].append(my_callback) adds a callback to be called when a message is confirmed. This callback is then called with the signature (delivery_tag, multiple).
  • Exchange-to-exchange bindings: exchange_bind / exchange_unbind.
    • Channel.confirm_select() enables publisher confirms.
    • Channel.events['basic_ack'].append(my_callback) adds a callback to be called when a message is confirmed. This callback is then called with the signature (delivery_tag, multiple).
  • Authentication Failure Notifications Instead of just closing the connection abruptly on invalid credentials, py-amqp will raise an AccessRefused error when connected to rabbitmq-server 3.2.0 or greater.

• Support for basic_return

• Uses AMQP 0-9-1 instead of 0-8.

  • Channel.access_request and ticket arguments to methods removed.
  • Supports the arguments argument to basic_consume.
  • internal argument to exchange_declare removed.
  • auto_delete argument to exchange_declare deprecated
  • insist argument to Connection removed.
  • Channel.alerts has been removed.
  • Support for Channel.basic_recover_async.
  • Channel.basic_recover deprecated.

• Exceptions renamed to have idiomatic names:

  • AMQPException -> AMQPError
  • AMQPConnectionException -> ConnectionError``
  • AMQPChannelException -> ChannelError``
  • Connection.known_hosts removed.
  • Connection no longer supports redirects.
  • exchange argument to queue_bind can now be empty to use the "default exchange".

• Adds Connection.is_alive that tries to detect whether the connection can still be used.

• Adds Connection.connection_errors and .channel_errors, a list of recoverable errors.

• Exposes the underlying socket as Connection.sock.

• Adds Channel.no_ack_consumers to keep track of consumer tags that set the no_ack flag.

• Slightly better at error recovery

Quick overview

Simple producer publishing messages to test queue using default exchange:

.. code:: python

import amqp

with amqp.Connection('broker.example.com') as c:
    ch = c.channel()
    ch.basic_publish(amqp.Message('Hello World'), routing_key='test')

Producer publishing to test_exchange exchange with publisher confirms enabled and using virtual_host test_vhost:

.. code:: python

import amqp

with amqp.Connection(
    'broker.example.com', exchange='test_exchange',
    confirm_publish=True, virtual_host='test_vhost'
) as c:
    ch = c.channel()
    ch.basic_publish(amqp.Message('Hello World'), routing_key='test')

Consumer with acknowledgments enabled:

.. code:: python

import amqp

with amqp.Connection('broker.example.com') as c:
    ch = c.channel()
    def on_message(message):
        print('Received message (delivery tag: {}): {}'.format(message.delivery_tag, message.body))
        ch.basic_ack(message.delivery_tag)
    ch.basic_consume(queue='test', callback=on_message)
    while True:
        c.drain_events()

Consumer with acknowledgments disabled:

.. code:: python

import amqp

with amqp.Connection('broker.example.com') as c:
    ch = c.channel()
    def on_message(message):
        print('Received message (delivery tag: {}): {}'.format(message.delivery_tag, message.body))
    ch.basic_consume(queue='test', callback=on_message, no_ack=True)
    while True:
        c.drain_events()

Speedups

This library has experimental support of speedups. Speedups are implemented using Cython. To enable speedups, CELERY_ENABLE_SPEEDUPS environment variable must be set during building/installation. Currently speedups can be installed:

1. using source package (using --no-binary switch):

.. code-block:: CELERY_ENABLE_SPEEDUPS=true pip install --no-binary :all: amqp

2. building directly source code:

.. code-block:: CELERY_ENABLE_SPEEDUPS=true python setup.py install
