Introduction

What is python3-amqp
python3-amqp is:
This is a fork of amqplib which was originally written by Barry Pederson. It is maintained by the Celery project, and used by kombu as a pure Python alternative when librabbitmq is not available.
This library should be API compatible with librabbitmq. Differences from amqplib are:
- Supports draining events from multiple channels (Connection.drain_events).
- Support for timeouts.
- Channels are restored after channel error, instead of having to close the connection.
- Support for heartbeats.
- Supports RabbitMQ extensions:
- Consumer Cancel Notifications.
- Publisher confirms.
- Exchange-to-exchange bindings: exchange_bind / exchange_unbind.
- Support for basic_return.
- Uses AMQP 0-9-1 instead of 0-8.
- Exposes the underlying socket as Connection.sock.
- Adds Channel.no_ack_consumers to keep track of consumer tags that set the no_ack flag.
- Slightly better at error recovery.
This package contains the Python 3 version of the library.
