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.

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

• 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
