Change history

0.10.7 [2010-10-07 03:20 P.M CEST]

  • ConsumerSet: Now possible to add/cancel consumers at runtime

    • To add another consumer to an active set do:

      >>> cset.add_consumer(C)
      >>> # or
      >>> cset.add_consumer_from_dict(**declaration)
      
      >>> # ...
      >>> # consume() will declare new consumers
      >>> cset.consume()
      
    • To cancel an active consumer by queue name do:

      >>> cset.cancel_by_queue(queue_name)
      

0.10.6 [2010-09-03 10:16 A.M CEST]

  • Publisher.send: Now supports an exchange argument used to override the exchange to send the message to (defaults to Publisher.exchange).

    Note that this exchange must have been declared.

  • STOMP backend: Now supports username and password authentication.

  • pika backend called basic_get with incorrect arguments.

0.10.5 [2010-06-03 09:02 A.M CEST]

  • In-memory backend: discard_all() now works correctly.

  • Added msgpack serialization support

    See http://msgpack.sourceforge.net for more information.

    To enable set:

    serializer="msgpack"
    
  • Added dependency specification for building RPMs.

    $ python setup.py bdist_rpm

0.10.4 [2010-05-14 10:26 A.M CEST]

  • Added BrokerConnection.drain_events() (only works for amqplib/pika)

    drain_events waits for events on all active channels.

  • amqplib: Added timeout support to drain_events.

    Example usage:

    >>> c = Consumer()
    >>> it = c.iterconsume()
    >>> # wait for event on any channel
    >>> try:
    ...    connection.drain_events(timeout=1)
    ...     except socket.timeout:
                    pass
    
  • Added Consumer.consume / ConsumerSet.consume

    We’re slowly moving away from iterconsume as this flow doesn’t make sense. You often want to consume from several channels at once, so iterconsume will probably be deprecated at some point.

    “new-style” consume example:

    >>> connection = BrokerConnection(..)
    >>> consumer = Consumer(connection, ...)
    >>> consumer.register_callback(handle_message)
    >>> consumer.consume() # declares consumers
    >>> while True:
    ...     connection.drain_events()
    >>> consumer.cancel() # Cancel consumer.
    

    More elaborate example consuming from two channels, where the first channel consumes from multiple queues:

    >>> connection = BrokerConnection(..)
    
    # The first channel receives jobs from several
    # queues.
    >>> queues = {"video": {"exchange": "jobs",
    ...                     "queue": "video",
    ...                     "routing_key": "video"},
    ...           "image": {"exchange": "jobs",
    ...                     "queue": "image",
    ...                     "routing_key": "image"}}
    >>> job_consumer = ConsumerSet(connection, from_dict=queues)
    >>> job_consumer.register_callback(handle_job)
    >>> job_consumer.consume()
    
    # The second channel receives remote control commands.
    >>> remote_consumer = Consumer(connection, queue="control",
    ...                            exchange="control")
    >>> remote_consumer.register_callback(handle_remote_command)
    >>> remote_consumer.consume()
    
    # The eventloop.
    # Receives a single message a pass and calls the appropriate
    # callback.
    >>> try:
    ...     while True:
    ...         connection.drain_events()
    ... finally:
    ...     job_consumer.close()
    ...     remote_consumer.close()
    ...     connection.close()
    
  • amqplib: now raises KeyError if hostname isn’t set.

0.10.3 [2010-03-08 05:01 P.M CEST]

  • Consumer/Publisher: A kwarg option set to None should always mean “use the class default value”. This was not always the case, but has been fixed in this release.

  • DjangoBrokerConnection: Now accepts a custom settings object. E.g.:

    >>> conn = DjangoBrokerConnection(settings=mysettings)
    
  • Consumer.iterconsume: Now raises StopIteration if the channel is closed. (http://github.com/ask/carrot/issues/issue/24)

  • Fixed syntax error in the DjangoBrokerConnection which could be triggered if some conditions were met.

  • setup.cfg: Disable –enable-coverage from nosetests section

  • Consumer.iterconsume now works properly when using the Python Queue module based backend (http://github.com/ask/carrot/issues/issue/23).

0.10.2 [2010-02-03 11:43 A.M CEST]

  • Resolved a typo in the experimental Pika backend.

0.10.1 [2010-01-16 10:17 P.M CEST]

  • Fixed syntax error typo in the Pika backend.

0.10.0 [2010-01-15 12:08 A.M CEST]

  • Added experimental Pika backend for async support. See http://github.com/tonyg/pika

  • Python 2.4 compatibility.

  • Added intent revealing names for use with the delivery_mode attribute

  • The amqplib internal connection now supports waiting for events on any channel, so as to not block the event loop on a single channel. Example:

    >>> from carrot.connection import BrokerConnection
    >>> from carrot.messaging import Consumer, Publisher
    >>> from functools import partial
    >>> connection = BrokerConnection(...)
    >>> consumer1 = Consumer(queue="foo", exchange="foo")
    >>> consumer2 = Consumer(queue="bar", exchange="bar")
    >>> def callback(channel, message_data, message):
    ...     print(%s: %s" % (channel, message_data))>>> 
    consumer1.register_callback(partial(callback, "channel1"))
    >>> consumer2.register_callback(partial(callback, "channel2"))
    
    >>> pub1 = Publisher(exchange="foo")
    >>> pub2 = Publisher(exchange="bar")
    >>> [(i % 2 and pub1 or pub2).send({"hello": "world"})
    ...             for i in range(100)]
    
    >>> while True:
    ...     connection.connection.drain_events()
    

    But please be sure to note that this is an internal feature only, hopefully we will have a public interface for this for v1.0.

0.8.0 [2009-11-16 05:11 P.M CEST]

BACKWARD INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES

  • Django: AMQP_SERVER has been deprecated and renamed to BROKER_HOST. AMQP_SERVER is still supported but will be removed in version 1.0.
  • Django: All AMQP_* settings has been renamed to BROKER_*, the old settings still work but gives a deprecation warning. AMQP_* is scheduled for removal in v1.0.
  • You now have to include the class name in the CARROT_BACKEND string. E.g. where you before had “my.module.backends”, you now need to include the class name: "my.module.backends.BackendClass". The aliases works like before.

BUGFIXES

  • Cancel should delete the affected _consumer
  • qos()/flow() now working properly.
  • Fixed the bug in UUID4 which makes it return the same id over and over.

OTHER

  • Sphinx docs: Remove django dependency when building docs. Thanks jetfar!
  • You can now build the documentatin using python setup.py build_sphinx (thanks jetfar!)

0.6.1 [2009-09-30 12:29 P.M CET]

  • Forgot to implement qos/flow in the pyamqplib backend (doh).

    Big thanks to stevvooe! See issue #18

  • Renamed ConsumerSet._open_channels -> _open_consumers

  • Channel is now a weak reference so it’s collected on channel exception.

    See issue #17. Thanks to ltucker.

  • Publisher.auto_declare/Consumer.auto_declare: Can now disable the default behaviour of automatically declaring the queue, exchange and queue binding.

  • Need to close the connection to receive mandatory/immediate errors

    (related to issue #16). Thanks to ltucker.

  • pyamqplib backend close didn’t work properly, typo channel -> _channel

  • Adds carrot.backends.pystomp to the reference documentation.

0.6.0 [2009-09-17 16:41 P.M CET]

BACKWARD INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES

  • AMQPConnection renamed to BrokerConnection with AMQPConnection remaining

    an alias for backwards compatability. Similarly DjangoAMQPConnection is renamed to DjangoBrokerConnection.

  • AMQPConnection renamed to BrokerConnection

    DjangoAMQPConnection renamed to DjangoBrokerConnection (The previous names are still available but will be deprecated in 1.0)

  • The connection is now lazy, requested only when it’s needed.

    To explicitly connect you have to evaluate the BrokerConnections connection attribute.

    >>> connection = BrokerConnection(...) # Not connected yet.
    >>> connection.connection; # Now it's connected
    
  • A channel is now lazy, requested only when it’s needed.

  • pyamqplib.Message.amqp_message is now a private attribute

NEW FEATURES

NEWS

  • The current Message class is now available as an attribute on the

    Backend.

  • Default port is now handled by the backend and all AMQP_* settings to the

    DjangoBrokerConnection is now optional

  • Backend is now initialized in the connection instead of Consumer/Publisher,

    so backend_cls now has to be sent to AMQPConnection if you want to explicitly set it.

  • Specifying utf-8 as the content type when forcing unicode into a string.

    This removes the reference to the unbound content_type variable.

0.5.1 [2009-07-19 06:19 P.M CET]

  • Handle messages without content_encoding attribute set.
  • Make delivery_info available on the Message instance.
  • Use anyjson to detect best installed JSON module on the system.

0.5.0 [2009-06-25 08:16 P.M CET]

BACKWARD-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES

  • Custom encoder/decoder support has been moved to a centralized

    registry in carrot.serialization. This means the encoder/decoder optional arguments to Publisher.send (and the similar attributes of ``Publisher` and Consumer classes) no longer exist. See README for details of the new system.

  • Any Consumer and Publisher instances should be

    upgraded at the same time since carrot now uses the AMQP content-type field to know how to automatically de-serialize your data. If you use an old-style Publisher with a new-style Consumer, you will get a raw string back as message_data instead of your de-serialized data. An old-style Consumer will work with a new-style Publisher as long as you’re using the default JSON serialization methods.

  • Acknowledging/Rejecting/Requeuing a message twice now raises

    an exception.

ENHANCEMENTS

  • ConsumerSet: Receive messages from several consumers.

0.4.5 [2009-06-15 01:58 P.M CET]

BACKWARD-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES

  • the exchange is now also declared in the Publisher. This means

    the following attributes (if used) must be set on both the Publisher and the Consumer: exchange_type, durable and auto_delete.

IMPORTANT BUGS

  • No_ack was always set to True when using Consumer.iterconsume.

0.4.4 [2009-06-15 01:58 P.M CET]

  • __init__.pyc was included in the distribution by error.

0.4.3 [2009-06-13 09:26 P.M CET]

  • Fix typo with long_description in setup.py.

0.4.2 [2009-06-13 08:30 P.M CET]

  • Make sure README exists before reading it for long_description.

    Thanks to jcater.

  • discard_all: Use AMQP.queue_purge if filterfunc is not

    specified

0.4.1 [2009-06-08 04:21 P.M CET]

  • Consumer/Publisher now correctly sets the encoder/decoder if they

    have been overriden by setting the class attribute.

0.4.0 [2009-06-06 01:39 P.M CET]

IMPORTANT Please don’t use Consumer.wait in production. Use either of Consumer.iterconsume or Consumer.iterqueue.

IMPORTANT The ack argument to Consumer.process_next has been removed, use the instance-wide auto_ack argument/attribute instead.

IMPORTANT Consumer.message_to_python has been removed, use message.decode() on the returned message object instead.

IMPORTANT Consumer/Publisher/Messaging now no longer takes a backend instance, but a backend class, so the backend argument is renamed to backend_cls.

WARNING Consumer.process_next has been deprecated in favor of Consumer.fetch(enable_callbacks=True) and emits a DeprecationWarning if used.

  • Consumer.iterconsume: New sane way to use basic_consume instead of Consumer.wait:

    (Consmer.wait now uses this behind the scenes, just wrapped around a highly unsafe infinite loop.)

  • Consumer: New options: auto_ack and no_ack. Auto ack means the

    consumer will automatically acknowledge new messages, and No-Ack means it will disable acknowledgement on the server alltogether (probably not what you want)

  • Consumer.iterqueue: Now supports infinite argument, which means the

    iterator doesn’t raise StopIteration if there’s no messages, but instead yields None (thus never ends)

  • message argument to consumer callbacks is now a

    carrot.backends.pyamqplib.Message instance. See [GH #4]. Thanks gregoirecachet!

  • AMQPConnection, Consumer, Publisher and Messaging now supports

    the with statement. They automatically close when the with-statement block exists.

  • Consumer tags are now automatically generated for each class instance,

    so you should never get the “consumer tag already open” error anymore.

  • Loads of new unit tests.

0.4.0-pre7 [2009-06-03 05:08 P.M CET]

  • Conform to pep8.py trying to raise our pypants score.
  • Documentation cleanup (thanks Rune Halvorsen)

0.4.0-pre6 [2009-06-03 04:55 P.M CET]

  • exclusive implies auto_delete, not durable. Closes #2.

    Thanks gregoirecachet

  • Consumer tags are now automatically generated by the class module,

    name and a UUID.

  • New attribute Consumer.warn_if_exists:

    If True, emits a warning if the queue has already been declared. If a queue already exists, and you try to redeclare the queue with new settings, the new settings will be silently ignored, so this can be useful if you’ve recently changed the routing_key attribute or other settings.

0.4.0-pre3 [2009-05-29 02:27 P.M CET]

  • Publisher.send: Now supports message priorities (a number between 0

    and 9)

  • Publihser.send: Added routing_key keyword argument. Can override

    the routing key for a single message.

  • Publisher.send: Support for the immediate and mandatory flags.

0.4.0-pre2 [2009-05-29 02:27 P.M CET]

  • AMQPConnection: Added connect_timeout timeout option, which is

    the timeout in seconds before we exhaust trying to establish a connection to the AMQP server.

0.4.0-pre1 [2009-05-27 04:27 P.M CET]

  • This version introduces backends. The consumers and publishers

    all have an associated backend. Currently there are two backends available; pyamqlib and pyqueue. The amqplib backend is for production use, while the Queue backend is for use while unit testing.

  • Consumer/Publisher operations no longer re-establishes the connection if the connection has been closed.

  • Consumer.next has been deprecated for a while, and has now been removed.

  • Message objects now have a decode method, to deserialize the message body.

  • You can now use the Consumer class standalone, without subclassing, by registering callbacks by using Consumer.register_callback.

  • Ability to filter messages in Consumer.discard_all.

  • carrot now includes a basic unit test suite, which hopefully will

    be more complete in later releases.

  • carrot now uses the Sphinx documentation system.

0.3.9 [2009-05-18 04:49 P.M CET]

  • Consumer.wait() now works properly again. Thanks Alexander Solovyov!

0.3.8 [2009-05-11 02:14 P.M CET]

  • Rearranged json module import order.

    New order is cjson > simplejson > json > django.util.somplejson

  • _Backwards incompatible change:

    Have to instantiate AMQPConnection object before passing it to consumers/publishers. e.g before when you did

    >>> consumer = Consumer(connection=DjangoAMQPConnection)
    

you now have to do

>>> consumer = Consumer(connection=DjangoAMQPConnection())

or sometimes you might even want to share the same connection with publisher/consumer.

0.2.1 [2009-03-24 05:48 P.M CET]

  • Fix typo “package” -> “packages” in setup.py

0.2.0 [2009-03-24 05:23 P.M ]`

  • hasty bugfix release, fixed syntax errors.

0.1.0 [2009-03-24 05:16 P.M ]`

  • Initial release
