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. It is meant to replace the carrot library by providing a compatibility layer.

Features:
* Allows application authors to support several message server solutions by
using pluggable transports.
* Supports automatic encoding, serialization and compression of message
payloads.
* The ability to ensure that an operation is performed by gracefully handling
connection and channel errors.
