I've been playing with Messenger and I've found I need to do this if I
want to be sure it has done what I've asked it to do:

     def flush(self):
         """Call work() till there is no work left."""
         while self.work(0.01): pass


I've found I need to do this after subscribe() and accept() if I want to
be sure the action has been carried out. (e.g. because I want to check
if the corresponding message has been removed from a broker.)

Is there a better way of doing this? If not should we add something like
this to messenger API?


You are supposed to be able to check the tracker status for your message to
figure stuff like this out, although we may not (yet) expose a state that
would correspond to the message being dequeued.



This would be analogous to the sync() call and sync arguments in the
qpid.messaging API.


I don't think we need a sync() analog (at least not for this case) since it
seems like what you care about has mostly to do with the message, i.e. did
I get the message I want and has it reached the appropriate state.

The subscribe case is not about a specific message. It perhaps comes up more in testing than 'real world' applications, but e.g. if you want to ensure a subscription is active before 'advertising' reachability through that e.g. in reply-to, then it is sometimes useful.
