Package: python-amqp-doc (2.5.2-0ubuntu1)

Low-level AMQP client (Documentation)

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 documentation.
