Kombu is an AMQP messaging framework for Python. The aim of Kombu is to make messaging in Python as easy as possible by providing an idiomatic high-level interface for the AMQP protocol, and also provide proven and tested solutions to common messaging problems. Features: * Allows application authors to support several message server solutions by using pluggable transports. * Supports automatic encoding, serialization and compression of message payloads. * Consistent exception handling across transports. * The ability to ensure that an operation is performed by gracefully handling connection and channel errrors. * Several annoyances with amqplib has been fixed, like supporting timeouts and the ability to wait for events on more than one channel.
