= INSTALLATION =
Extract the release archive into a directory of your choice and set
your PYTHONPATH accordingly:
tar -xzf qpid-python-<version>.tar.gz -C <install-prefix>
export PYTHONPATH=<install-prefix>/qpid-<version>/python
= GETTING STARTED =
The python client includes a simple hello-world example that publishes
and consumes a message:
cp <install-prefix>/qpid-<version>/python/hello-world .
./hello-world
= EXAMPLES =
More comprehensive examples can be found here:
cd <install-prefix>/qpid-<version>/python/examples
= 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 AMQP brokers
of the specified 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. ./qpid-python-test
If you wish to run the 0-8 or 0-9 conformence tests, they may be
selected as follows:
1. Run a broker on the default port
2. ./qpid-python-test tests_0-8.*
-- or --
./qpid-python-test tests_0-9.*
See the qpid-python-test usage for for additional options:
./qpid-python-test -h
