# Qpid Python

This distribution contains a Python 2 AMQP 0-x client implementation and AMQP
conformance tests for [Apache Qpid](https://qpid.apache.org/).

Documentation can be found here:

>

**NOTE**: For Python 3 and AMQP 1.0 support, look instead to [Qpid Proton](http://qpid.apache.org/proton).

## Getting started

1. Make sure the Qpid Python client libraries are on your PYTHONPATH.
Extract the archive and add the local directory to your PYTHONPATH:

$ tar -xf qpid-python-VERSION.tar.gz
$ cd qpid-python-VERSION
$ export PYTHONPATH=$PWD:$PYTHONPATH

2. Make sure a broker is running.

3. Run the 'hello' example from examples/api:

$ cd examples/api
$ ./hello
Hello world!

## Examples

The `examples` directory contains sample programs. See
`examples/README.txt` for more information.

## Running the tests

The `tests` directory contains a collection of unit tests for the
Python client. The `tests_0-10`, `tests_0-9`, and `tests_0-8`
directories contain protocol-level conformance tests for brokers that
speak the specified AMQP version.

The `qpid-python-test` script may be used to run these tests. It will
by default run the Python unit tests and the 0-10 conformance tests:

1. Run a broker on the default port.

2. Run the tests:

$ ./qpid-python-test

If you wish to run the 0-8 or 0-9 conformance tests, they may be
selected as follows:

1. Run a broker on the default port.

2. Run the tests:

$ ./qpid-python-test tests_0-8.*

[or]

$ ./qpid-python-test tests_0-9.*

See the `qpid-python-test` command-line help for for additional
options:

$ ./qpid-python-test -h

## Installation

Other Qpid components depend on Qpid Python for testing. You can use
`setup.py` to install Qpid Python to a standard location:

# User-local install

$ python setup.py install --user
$ export PYTHONPATH=$HOME/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
$ export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH

[or]

# System-wide install

$ sudo python setup.py install
