beanstalkc
==========

beanstalkc is a simple beanstalkd client library for Python. [beanstalkd][] is
a fast, distributed, in-memory workqueue service.

beanstalkc depends on [PyYAML][], but there are ways to avoid this dependency.
See Appendix A of the tutorial for details.

beanstalkc is pure Python, and is compatible with [eventlet][] and [gevent][].

beanstalkc is currently only supported on Python 2 and automatically tested
against Python 2.6 and 2.7. Python 3 is not (yet) supported.

[eventlet]: http://eventlet.net/
[gevent]: http://www.gevent.org/
[PyYAML]: http://pyyaml.org/

Usage
-----

Here is a short example, to illustrate the flavor of beanstalkc:

>>> import beanstalkc
>>> beanstalk = beanstalkc.Connection(host='localhost', port=14711)
>>> beanstalk.put('hey!')
1
>>> job = beanstalk.reserve()
>>> job.body
'hey!'
>>> job.delete()

For more information, see [the tutorial](TUTORIAL.mkd), which will explain most
everything.
