pyrabbit

1.1.0 verified Mon Apr 27 auth: no python maintenance

A Pythonic interface to the RabbitMQ Management HTTP API. Version 1.1.0, low release cadence (last release 2013).

pip install pyrabbit

Common errors

error ImportError: cannot import name 'Client' from 'pyrabbit' ↓

cause Client is in the api submodule, not in __init__.py.

fix

Use 'from pyrabbit.api import Client' instead of 'from pyrabbit import Client'.

error pyrabbit.api.Client object has no attribute 'is_alive' ↓

cause Method name might be incorrect in older versions or typo.

fix

Check available methods: get_nodes(), get_queues(), etc. Use client.is_alive() only if available; otherwise use client.aliveness_test('/').

error requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: HTTPConnectionPool: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 61] Connection refused ↓

cause Wrong port (using 5672 instead of 15672) or RabbitMQ Management plugin not enabled.

fix

Enable management plugin: rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management. Use port 15672.

deprecated pyrabbit is no longer actively maintained. Last release in 2013. Consider using aio-pika or pika with HTTP client for management API. ↓

fix Switch to a library with active maintenance and async support.

gotcha Client object is not instantiated correctly: use pyrabbit.api.Client, not pyrabbit.Client. ↓

fix from pyrabbit.api import Client

gotcha Default port for RabbitMQ Management API is 15672, not 5672 (AMQP port). ↓

fix Use http://host:15672 as the base URL.

Client

wrong

from pyrabbit import Client

correct

from pyrabbit.api import Client

Client is in the api module, not top-level.

Connect to RabbitMQ Management API and check if server is alive.

from pyrabbit.api import Client

client = Client('http://localhost:15672', 'guest', 'guest')
alive = client.is_alive()
print(alive)
