PikaChewie is your pika co-pilot, providing RabbitMQ messaging tools with bandoliers included.

Supports Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, and 3.4.

PikaChewie is an extensive reworking of Gavin M. Roy's rejected framework, and is intended as a lighter-weight alternative to its predecessor. A significant amount of code from rejected has been ported into PikaChewie, either as-is or in refactored form.

To install PikaChewie from source:

  $ git clone git@github.com:bdeeney/PikaChewie.git
  $ cd PikaChewie
  $ virtualenv env
  $ . env/bin/activate
  $ pip install -r requirements.pip

After installing the prequisites (previous section), run tox from the project root:

  $ tox

PikaChewie is developed using HubFlow, DataSift's fork of the GitFlow git extensions.
