Improvements for the python client API
--------------------------------------
Key: QPID-979
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-979
Project: Qpid
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Python Client
Reporter: Rajith Attapattu
It would be good if we could have the following for the python client API.
1) UUID for python < 2.5,
UUID module is only introduced from python 2.5
When creating a session it would be nice if we had the convinience of using a
UUID generator.
Rafi suggested that we could have a uuid method in the qpid.datatypes that will
use the uuid module if python version is >= 2.5 and if not we could generate a
uuid based on the RFC for uuid.
2) convenience for getting to a specific header property,
Currently retrieving the headers from the message is a bit awkward, so a
convinience method is good to have.
Perhpas have this following method (courtesy Gordon) in the message class?
def getProperty(msg, name):
for h in msg.headers:
if hasattr(h, name): return getattr(h, name)
return None
3) cumulative ack
Currently I ack per message and in the old API we had a cumilative ack.
It would be nice to have the same thing.
Regards,
Rajith
