Side note, I think the picture are of White Geese and not ducks.

I had the same thought. However.

If the photographer calls them ducks, who am I to argue?

There’s a nifty helper library for Pika which reduces the boilerplate code quite a bit. It is called pikacon. You can find it from PyPI.

Valid point! This is a more abstract, general list, but there’s no reason we can’t follow up with a list of specific examples and samples for using a message queue.

What do you mean just chat rooms? One major example is that most medium or large companies have many internal apps and system and this sort of MQ allows for them all to communicate in a managed way with a common protocol.

Honestly, most of the examples I see is in fact just one thing: to build a chat room..

I’ve only recently discovered message queues after a tech talk I went to. I wrote about it here when I was still really excited:

but the code I had to write (Python) to use them always seemed a bit more complex than I liked (Pika library). From looking at the super simple API of your client library, I might just have to start using them again!
