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 Python 3 version of the library.
