Kombu
Messaging library for Python.
Features
- Allows application authors to support several message server solutions by using pluggable transports.
- AMQP transport using the py-amqp, or qpid-python libraries.
- Virtual transports makes it really easy to add support for non-AMQP transports. There is already built-in support for Redis, Amazon SQS, ZooKeeper, SoftLayer MQ, MongoDB and Pyro.
- In-memory transport for unit testing.
For an introduction to AMQP you should read the article Rabbits and warrens, and the Wikipedia article about AMQP.
