Kuyruk is a simple and easy way of distributing tasks to run on servers.
It uses RabbitMQ as message broker and depends on Pika which is a pure-Python RabbitMQ client library.
Kuyruk is available on PyPI.
$ pip install kuyruk
Normally you don't need this but it is easy.
kuyruk/test
directory contains files of both unit and integration tests.
Make sure that RabbitMQ is running before running tests.
If you want to test failed task saving, make sure Redis is also running.
Tests also run on Travis CI
automatically on push.
$ git clone git://github.com/cenkalti/kuyruk.git
$ cd kuyruk
$ pip install --allow-all-external -e .
$ pip install --allow-all-external -r requirements.txt
$ nosetests
Instantiate a Kuyruk
object somewhere.
Then just put a kuyruk.task
decorator on top of your function that you
want to run in background. After decorating, when you call the function it
will send the task to default queue instead of running the function.
Since Kuyruk does not support a result backend yet you should not be
using the return value of the function.
from kuyruk import Kuyruk
kuyruk = Kuyruk()
@kuyruk.task
def echo(message):
print message
# This will send a message to queue
echo('Hello, Kuyruk.')
Running the worker command with no parameters is enough for processing the tasks in the default queue.
$ kuyruk worker
