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.
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).
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
