About
=====
`Kombu` is a messaging library for Python.
The aim of `Kombu` is to make messaging in Python as easy as possible by
providing an idiomatic high-level interface for the AMQ protocol, and also
provide proven and tested solutions to common messaging problems.
`AMQP`_ is the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol, an open standard protocol
for message orientation, queuing, routing, reliability and security,
for which the `RabbitMQ`_ messaging server is the most popular implementation.
Features
========
* Allows application authors to support several message server
solutions by using pluggable transports.
* AMQP transport using the `py-amqp`_, `librabbitmq`_, or `qpid-python`_ libraries.
* High performance AMQP transport written in C - when using `librabbitmq`_
This is automatically enabled if librabbitmq is installed:
::
$ pip install librabbitmq
* Virtual transports makes it really easy to add support for non-AMQP
transports. There is already built-in support for `Redis`_,
`Amazon SQS`_, `ZooKeeper`_, `SoftLayer MQ`_ and `Pyro`_.
* In-memory transport for unit testing.
* Supports automatic encoding, serialization and compression of message
payloads.
* Consistent exception handling across transports.
* The ability to ensure that an operation is performed by gracefully
handling connection and channel errors.
* Several annoyances with `amqplib`_ has been fixed, like supporting
timeouts and the ability to wait for events on more than one channel.
* Projects already using `carrot`_ can easily be ported by using
a compatibility layer.
For an introduction to AMQP you should read the article `Rabbits and warrens`_,
and the `Wikipedia article about AMQP`_.

Documentation
-------------
Kombu is using Sphinx, and the latest documentation can be found here:

Quick overview
--------------
::
from kombu import Connection, Exchange, Queue
media_exchange = Exchange('media', 'direct', durable=True)
video_queue = Queue('video', exchange=media_exchange, routing_key='video')
def process_media(body, message):
print body
message.ack()
# connections
with Connection('amqp://guest:guest@localhost//') as conn:
# produce
producer = conn.Producer(serializer='json')
producer.publish({'name': '/tmp/lolcat1.avi', 'size': 1301013},
exchange=media_exchange, routing_key='video',
declare=[video_queue])
# the declare above, makes sure the video queue is declared
# so that the messages can be delivered.
# It's a best practice in Kombu to have both publishers and
# consumers declare the queue. You can also declare the
# queue manually using:
# video_queue(conn).declare()
# consume
with conn.Consumer(video_queue, callbacks=[process_media]) as consumer:
# Process messages and handle events on all channels
while True:
conn.drain_events()
# Consume from several queues on the same channel:
video_queue = Queue('video', exchange=media_exchange, key='video')
image_queue = Queue('image', exchange=media_exchange, key='image')
with connection.Consumer([video_queue, image_queue],
callbacks=[process_media]) as consumer:
while True:
connection.drain_events()
Or handle channels manually:
::
with connection.channel() as channel:
producer = Producer(channel, ...)
consumer = Producer(channel)
All objects can be used outside of with statements too,
just remember to close the objects after use:
::
from kombu import Connection, Consumer, Producer
connection = Connection()
# ...
connection.release()
consumer = Consumer(channel_or_connection, ...)
consumer.register_callback(my_callback)
consumer.consume()
# ....
consumer.cancel()
`Exchange` and `Queue` are simply declarations that can be pickled
and used in configuration files etc.
They also support operations, but to do so they need to be bound
to a channel.
Binding exchanges and queues to a connection will make it use
that connections default channel.
::
>>> exchange = Exchange('tasks', 'direct')
>>> connection = Connection()
>>> bound_exchange = exchange(connection)
>>> bound_exchange.delete()
# the original exchange is not affected, and stays unbound.
>>> exchange.delete()
raise NotBoundError: Can't call delete on Exchange not bound to
a channel.
Terminology
===========
There are some concepts you should be familiar with before starting:
* Producers
Producers sends messages to an exchange.
* Exchanges
Messages are sent to exchanges. Exchanges are named and can be
configured to use one of several routing algorithms. The exchange
routes the messages to consumers by matching the routing key in the
message with the routing key the consumer provides when binding to
the exchange.
* Consumers
Consumers declares a queue, binds it to a exchange and receives
messages from it.
* Queues
Queues receive messages sent to exchanges. The queues are declared
by consumers.
* Routing keys
Every message has a routing key. The interpretation of the routing
key depends on the exchange type. There are four default exchange
types defined by the AMQP standard, and vendors can define custom
types (so see your vendors manual for details).
These are the default exchange types defined by AMQP/0.8:
* Direct exchange
Matches if the routing key property of the message and
the `routing_key` attribute of the consumer are identical.
* Fan-out exchange
Always matches, even if the binding does not have a routing
key.
* Topic exchange
Matches the routing key property of the message by a primitive
pattern matching scheme. The message routing key then consists
of words separated by dots (`"."`, like domain names), and
two special characters are available; star (`"*"`) and hash
(`"#"`). The star matches any word, and the hash matches
zero or more words. For example `"*.stock.#"` matches the
routing keys `"usd.stock"` and `"eur.stock.db"` but not
`"stock.nasdaq"`.
Installation
============
You can install `Kombu` either via the Python Package Index (PyPI)

::
$ pip install kombu
To install using `easy_install`,:
::
$ easy_install kombu
If you have downloaded a source tarball you can install it
by doing the following,:
::
$ python setup.py build
# python setup.py install # as root
