CoilMQ is a simple, configurable STOMP message broker (aka STOMP server) written in Python. This project is inspired by the simple design of the Ruby stompserver project by Patrick Hurley and Lionel Bouton. The goal of this project is to provide a well-tested and well-documented Python implementation with a good set of built-in functionality and numerous paths for extensibility.

The project is currently in beta state and the tip branch in repository should always be considered unstable. Milestones (of varying levels of stability) will be signified by releases.

At a high-level, this project aims to:

• Provide a correct and functional STOMP implementation (see note below on v1.1).
• Work on contemporary versions of Python (2.6, 2.7, 3.1).
• Be well documented.
• Be easy to extend. (e.g. write new auth backend, queue storage)
• Be well tested.

Note that as of 3/31/2011 there is a version 1.1 of the STOMP protocol. Currently this is not supported by CoilMQ (but the plan is to add support).
