pikacon 0.2

Requirements

• python 2.7

• pika

Usage

Pikacon provides helper class which can be imported to your program. Class takes a path to .ini-style config file as a parameter and creates connection, exchanges, queues and bindings automatically from there. All you need to provide is a proper config.

Creation order is following:

1. Connection

2. Channel

3. Exchanges

4. Queues

5. Bindings

Config

Pikacon uses Pythons ConfigParser to get config for connection, exchanges and queues.

Below is an example of config file:

[broker]
host = localhost
port = 5432
username = guest
password = guest

[exchange1]
config_for = exchange
type = fanout
durable = False
auto_delete = True

[queue1]
config_for = queue
durable = False
exclusive = True

[binding1]
config_for = binding
queue = queue1
exchange = exchange1
routing_key= routing

In above example config_for tells the parser what kind of config this section contains. Rest of the parameters are regular pika parameters.
