qoo is a very simple Amazon SQS client, written in Python. It aims to be much more straight-forward to use than boto3, and specializes only in Amazon SQS, ignoring the rest of the AWS ecosystem.
Features
- Easier interaction with SQS queues
- Automatic support for
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
,AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
, andAWS_DEFAULT_REGION
environment variables. - automatic useful message/job metadata
Usage
Installation
pip install qoo
Basic Usage
import qoo
# list SQS queue names
qoo.list_queues()
# get an existing queue
queue = qoo.get("$QUEUE_NAME")
# or create a queue
queue = qoo.create("$QUEUE_NAME")
# send a job, pass info/keys as kwargs
queue.send(info="foo", user_id="test_user") # etc.
# get an approximate count of messages in the queue
len(queue) # approximate total messages
queue.approx_not_visible # approximate number of message in the visibility timeout
# get a job
job = queue.receive(wait_time=1)
job.elapsed # time between sending the job and receiving it
job.md5_matches # boolean property to show that the md5 of the job matches what was sent
# and the data from the job is automatically converted into attrs
job.info # the string "foo"
job.user_id # the string "test_user"
# delete the job from the SQS queue
job.delete()
