close(reply_code=200, reply_text='')

Close Channel.

Parameters

  • reply_code (int) – Close reply code (e.g. 200)

  • reply_text (str) – Close reply text

Raises
Returns

confirm_deliveries()

Set the channel to confirm that each message has been successfully delivered.

Raises
Returns

start_consuming(to_tuple=False, auto_decode=True)

Start consuming messages.

Parameters

  • to_tuple (bool) – Should incoming messages be converted to a tuple before delivery.

  • auto_decode (bool) – Auto-decode strings when possible.

Raises
Returns

stop_consuming()

Raises
Returns

process_data_events(to_tuple=False, auto_decode=True)

Consume inbound messages.

Parameters

  • to_tuple (bool) – Should incoming messages be converted to a tuple before delivery.

build_inbound_messages(break_on_empty=False, to_tuple=False, auto_decode=True)

Build messages in the inbound queue.

Parameters

  • break_on_empty (bool) –

    Should we break the loop when there are no more messages in our inbound queue.

    This does not guarantee that the queue is emptied before the loop is broken, as messages may be consumed faster then they are being delivered by RabbitMQ, causing the loop to be broken prematurely.

  • to_tuple (bool) – Should incoming messages be converted to a tuple before delivery.

  • auto_decode (bool) – Auto-decode strings when possible.

Channel.Tx

class amqpstorm.tx.Tx(channel)

RabbitMQ Transactions.

Server local transactions, in which the server will buffer published messages until the client commits (or rollback) the messages.

commit()

Commit the current transaction.

Commit all messages published during the current transaction session to the remote server.

A new transaction session starts as soon as the command has been executed.

Returns

rollback()

Abandon the current transaction.

Rollback all messages published during the current transaction session to the remote server.

Note that all messages published during this transaction session will be lost, and will have to be published again.

A new transaction session starts as soon as the command has been executed.

Returns

select()

Enable standard transaction mode.

This will enable transaction mode on the channel. Meaning that messages will be kept in the remote server buffer until such a time that either commit or rollback is called.

Returns
