ansq - Async NSQ

Written with native Asyncio NSQ package

Installation

python -m pip install ansq

Overview

• Reader — high-level class for building consumers with nsqlookupd support
• Writer — high-level producer class supporting async publishing of messages to nsqd over the TCP protocol
• NSQConnection — low-level class representing a TCP connection to nsqd:
  • full TCP wrapper
  • one connection for sub and pub
  • self-healing: when the connection is lost, reconnects, sends identify and auth commands, subscribes to previous topic/channel

Features

• SUB
• PUB
• Discovery
• Backoff
• TLS
• Deflate
• Snappy
• Sampling
• AUTH

Usage

Consumer

A simple consumer reads messages from "example_topic" and prints them to stdout.

import asyncio

import ansq


async def main():
    reader = await ansq.create_reader(
        topic="example_topic",
        channel="example_channel",
    )

    async for message in reader.messages():
        print(f"Message: {message.body}")
        await message.fin()

    await reader.close()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

Producer

A simple producer sends a "Hello, world!" message to "example_topic".

import asyncio

import ansq


async def main():
    writer = await ansq.create_writer()
    await writer.pub(
        topic="example_topic",
        message="Hello, world!",
    )
    await writer.close()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())
