Homing-bird is a convenience wrapper to create an erlang-esque messaging queue for python. It uses zeromq as its messaging backend.

1.) Install zeromq from www.zeromq.org and pyzmq from https://github.com/zeromq/pyzmq 2.) Run python setup.py install

USAGE:

create a thread that calls a function when a message is received

from homingbird import Node, LocalNode def echo(msg): ... msg.reply(msg.data) ... l = LocalNode() r = Node(echo) l.send(r, "Hi there") print l.receive().data Hi there

The API is still very much in flux. Still to come: supervisors, JSONNodes, exceptions
