Fun with ones and zeros

I couldn't find your bug tracker, so I'll just post here. I'm not sure if you're targetting python 2.4 at all, but if you are, the definition of AMQPException doesn't work. Python 2.4 exceptions don't inherit from object, so you can't do super(MyClass, self) on classes inheriting from Exception. In my copy of py-amqplib, I've changed the initializer so it says the following:

if map(int, sys.version.split()[0].split('.')) >= [2,5,0]:
__super(AMQPException, self).__init__()
else:
__Exception.__init__(self)

(sorry about the underscores; your comment system doesn't have an obvious way to preserve whitespace)

That makes it valid for 2.4 and good for 2.5. Not sure if you want to fold that in, but I thought I'd post my change.

Michael Kelly:

I talked a bit about why I tackled this back in this blog post:

http://barryp.org/blog/entries/amqp/

I couldn't say exactly how long it took, if I had to make a wild guess I'd say maybe 15 hours to get to the 0.1 stage and another 25 hours since then, but that's spread over many days just working a little here and there.

After installing py-amqplib (by running "python setup.py install") I run it like this...

In one window, I

cd py-amqplib/demo
./demo_receive.py --host=10.66.0.8

in a second window

cd py-amqplib/demo
./demo_send.py --host=10.66.0.8 hello

back in the first window (running demo_receive.py), I then see

application_headers: {u'foo': 7, u'bar': 'baz'}
content_type: text/plain
> exchange: myfan
> consumer_tag: amq.ctag-ZSakFMRV+YXvdlQ1/DyZ4A==
> routing_key:
> redelivered: False
> delivery_tag: 1
> channel: <amqplib.client_0_8.Channel object at 0x801763710>

hello

That should be it. If you leave off the --host=xxx argument, it defaults to "localhost"
