rabbitpy

A pure-Python, thread-safe, minimalistic RabbitMQ client library.

rabbitpy provides a straightforward API for working with RabbitMQ. Connections, channels, queues, exchanges, and messages are plain Python objects. The library handles the AMQP protocol details so you don't have to.

Installation

pip install rabbitpy

Requirements

• Python 3.11+
• RabbitMQ 3.8+

Quick start

Publish a message

import rabbitpy

with rabbitpy.Connection('amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/%2f') as conn:
    with conn.channel() as channel:
        exchange = rabbitpy.Exchange(channel, 'my-exchange')
        exchange.declare()

        queue = rabbitpy.Queue(channel, 'my-queue')
        queue.declare()
        queue.bind(exchange, 'my-routing-key')

        message = rabbitpy.Message(channel, 'Hello, world!')
        message.publish(exchange, 'my-routing-key')

Consume messages

import rabbitpy

with rabbitpy.Connection('amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/%2f') as conn:
    with conn.channel() as channel:
        for message in rabbitpy.Queue(channel, 'my-queue'):
            print(message.body)
            message.ack()

Get a single message

import rabbitpy

with rabbitpy.Connection('amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/%2f') as conn:
    with conn.channel() as channel:
        queue = rabbitpy.Queue(channel, 'my-queue')
        message = queue.get()
        if message:
            print(message.body)
            message.ack()

Publish with confirmations

import rabbitpy

with rabbitpy.Connection('amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/%2f') as conn:
    with conn.channel() as channel:
        channel.enable_publisher_confirms()
        message = rabbitpy.Message(channel, 'Hello, world!')
        if message.publish('', routing_key='my-queue'):
            print('Confirmed by broker')

Transactional publishing

import rabbitpy

with rabbitpy.Connection('amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/%2f') as conn:
    with conn.channel() as channel:
        tx = rabbitpy.Tx(channel)
        tx.select()
        message = rabbitpy.Message(channel, 'Hello, world!')
        message.publish('', routing_key='my-queue')
        tx.commit()

Simple one-liner API

For scripts and simple use cases, rabbitpy provides module-level functions that manage the connection and channel for you:

import rabbitpy

# Publish
rabbitpy.publish('amqp://localhost/%2f', routing_key='my-queue', body=b'hello')

# Get
message = rabbitpy.get('amqp://localhost/%2f', queue_name='my-queue')

# Consume
for message in rabbitpy.consume('amqp://localhost/%2f', queue_name='my-queue'):
    print(message.body)
    message.ack()
    break

Connection URL

amqp[s]://username:password@host:port/virtual_host[?options]

Query string options:

| Option | Description | |---|---| | heartbeat | Heartbeat interval in seconds (default: 60) | | channel_max | Maximum number of channels | | frame_max | Maximum frame size in bytes | | timeout | Connection timeout in seconds (default: 3) | | cacertfile | Path to CA certificate file | | certfile | Path to client certificate file | | keyfile | Path to client certificate key | | verify | Certificate verification: ignore, optional, or required |

Example: amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/%2f?heartbeat=30&timeout=5
