This is mostly the same code with the listener:

from json import dumps
from random import randint
from stomp import (Connection,
                   ConnectionListener)
import time


# Listener that consumes messages and display the priority of the received 
message.
class PriorityTestListener(ConnectionListener):
    def __init__(self,
                 conn):
        # Used to ACK messages once they are processed.
        self.conn = conn

    def on_message(self,
                   frame):
        # Called by the STOMP connection when a MESSAGE frame is received.
        # Parameters: frame (Frame) - the stomp frame
        # message is a stomp.utils.Frame with:
        #     message.cmd == "MESSAGE"
        #     message.headers == dict()
        #     message.body == str
        message_id = frame.headers["message-id"]
        subscription = int(frame.headers["subscription"])
        priority = int(frame.headers["priority"])

        print("Received message with id",
              message_id,
              "and priority",
              priority,
              ".")

        # Simulate long-running process.
        time.sleep(1)

        conn.ack(message_id,
                 subscription)


conn = Connection([("localhost", 61613)])

listener = PriorityTestListener(conn)
conn.set_listener("",
                  listener)

conn.connect(wait=True)

# First, stuff a number of low-priority messages into the queue.
for _ in range(250):
    priority = randint(1,5)
    conn.send("/queue/Priority Test",
              dumps({}),
              "application/json",
              headers={"persistent": "true",
                       "priority": priority})

# Now start working off the queue.
conn.subscribe("/queue/Priority Test",
               42,
               ack="client-individual",
               headers={"activemq.prefetchSize": 1})

# Now stuff a few high-priority message onto the queue.
# We would like for them to be processed immediately.
time.sleep(20)
for _ in range(10):
    priority = 9
    print("Adding a high priority message to the queue . . .")
    conn.send("/queue/Priority Test",
              dumps({}),
              "application/json",
              headers={"persistent": "true",
                       "priority": 9})
    time.sleep(randint(5,10))

# Keep the process alive until the connection terminates.
try:
    while conn.is_connected():
        time.sleep(30)
except:
    # Ctrl-C throws an exception
    pass


print("Process complete.")

for _ in range(25):
    priority = randint(1,9)
    conn.send("/queue/Priority Test",
              dumps({}),
              "application/json",
              headers={"persistent": "true",
                       "priority": 9})


UPDATE:

The issue only shows up iff the consumer is processing a LOT of messages on the 
queue and a higher priority message arrives -- it doesn't recognize and consume 
that new higher priority message until it finished consuming a dozen or so 
lower priority messages.  It's as if it has cached the messages it "plans" to 
consume and processes those before grabbing the highest priority messages off 
of the queue.

Why is this an issue you may ask?  Because I am using the queue to pass long 
running tasks to a server that can only process one task at a time.  There are 
currently thousands of low-priority messages in the queue, some of which take 
several minutes to complete, and I would like to have new high-priority 
messages processed right away.

If you run the code above and only stuff, say, 50 or 100 low priority messages 
on the queue before peppering it with high priority messages it works as 
advertised.  But with 250 or more in the queue there is a delay . . . here is 
the output (notice the delay before it picks up the first several high-priority 
messages):
