RabbitMQ is an open source message broker software (sometimes called message-oriented middleware) that implements the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP).

Examples

This section gives sample programs written in Python for sending and receiving messages using a queue.

Sending

The following code fragment establishes a connection, makes sure the recipient queue exists, then sends a message and finally closes the connection.

#!/usr/bin/env python
import pika
connection = pika.BlockingConnection(pika.ConnectionParameters('localhost'))
channel = connection.channel()
channel.queue_declare(queue='hello')
channel.basic_publish(exchange='', routing_key='hello', body='Hello World!')
print " [x] Sent 'Hello World!'"
connection.close()

Receiving

Similarly, the following program receives messages from the queue and prints them on the screen:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import pika
connection = pika.BlockingConnection(pika.ConnectionParameters(host='localhost'))
channel = connection.channel()
channel.queue_declare(queue='hello')
print ' [*] Waiting for messages. To exit press CTRL+C'
def callback(ch, method, properties, body):
    print " [x] Received %r" % (body,)
channel.basic_consume(callback, queue='hello', no_ack=True)
channel.start_consuming()
