==================
Simple Interface
==================
.. contents::
:local:
:mod:`kombu.simple` is a simple interface to AMQP queueing.
It is only slightly different from the :class:`~Queue.Queue` class in the
Python Standard Library, which makes it excellent for users with basic
messaging needs.
Instead of defining exchanges and queues, the simple classes only requires
two arguments, a connection channel and a name. The name is used as the
queue, exchange and routing key. If the need arises, you can specify
a :class:`~kombu.Queue` as the name argument instead.
In addition, the :class:`~kombu.Connection` comes with
shortcuts to create simple queues using the current connection:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> queue = connection.SimpleQueue('myqueue')
>>> # ... do something with queue
>>> queue.close()
This is equivalent to:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> from kombu.simple import SimpleBuffer
>>> channel = connection.channel()
>>> queue = SimpleBuffer(channel, 'mybuffer')
>>> # ... do something with queue
>>> channel.close()
>>> queue.close()
.. _simple-send-receive:
Sending and receiving messages
==============================
The simple interface defines two classes; :class:`~kombu.simple.SimpleQueue`,
and :class:`~kombu.simple.SimpleBuffer`. The former is used for persistent
messages, and the latter is used for transient, buffer-like queues.
They both have the same interface, so you can use them interchangeably.
Here is an example using the :class:`~kombu.simple.SimpleQueue` class
to produce and consume logging messages:
.. code-block:: python
import socket
import datetime
from time import time
from kombu import Connection
class Logger:
def __init__(self, connection, queue_name='log_queue',
serializer='json', compression=None):
self.queue = connection.SimpleQueue(queue_name)
self.serializer = serializer
self.compression = compression
def log(self, message, level='INFO', context={}):
self.queue.put({'message': message,
'level': level,
'context': context,
'hostname': socket.gethostname(),
'timestamp': time()},
serializer=self.serializer,
compression=self.compression)
def process(self, callback, n=1, timeout=1):
for i in xrange(n):
log_message = self.queue.get(block=True, timeout=1)
entry = log_message.payload # deserialized data.
callback(entry)
log_message.ack() # remove message from queue
def close(self):
self.queue.close()
if __name__ == '__main__':
from contextlib import closing
with Connection('amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672//') as conn:
with closing(Logger(conn)) as logger:
# Send message
logger.log('Error happened while encoding video',
level='ERROR',
context={'filename': 'cutekitten.mpg'})
# Consume and process message
# This is the callback called when a log message is
# received.
def dump_entry(entry):
date = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(entry['timestamp'])
print('[%s %s %s] %s %r' % (date,
entry['hostname'],
entry['level'],
entry['message'],
entry['context']))
# Process a single message using the callback above.
logger.process(dump_entry, n=1)
