About

amqpy is a pure-Python AMQP 0.9.1 client library for Python 2 >= 2.7.0 and Python 3 >= 3.2.0 (including PyPy and 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.

Guarantees

This library makes the following guarantees:

  • Semantic versioning is strictly followed
  • Compatible with Python >= 2.7.0 and PyPy
  • 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
