Introduction

pyactivemq is a Python module for communicating with the ActiveMQ message broker which implements the Java Message Service specification.

pyactivemq wraps the ActiveMQ-CPP library using Boost.Python. This implies that both the Stomp and Openwire wire formats are supported for communicating with the broker.

pyactivemq could also be used with other JMS message brokers by utilising ActiveMQ's JMS to JMS bridge feature.

It would also be possible to create a CMS wrapper for the C libraries that are part of Sun's OpenMQ broker (formerly known as Sun Java System Message Queue). pyactivemq could then be extended to support both ActiveMQ and OpenMQ.
