Hi,

sorry for the badly chosen subject - I'm new to the world of amqp/qpid and I'm 
playing with the python stuff in the moment.

Welcome!

While digging around, I ran into a couple of questions:

The python examples offer a .body element for messages, where I can get the 
message body. How can I  find out which SASL user sent the message?

The sending client can set the userid on the message (in message-properties). This can then be enforced by the broker (so that clients can't send messages purporting to be from someone else). The receiving client can then read that property. However at present messages may not all have the userid set.


Alternatively: for qpid, there's an ACL module. I'm authenticating against LDAP 
and I'd like to use dynamic groups in order to define ACLs depending on a small 
number of groups. In my case, I'd like to store groups inside of my LDAP tree 
and not statically defined in my qpid policy file. Is it possible to get this 
kind of behavior without creating an additional ACL module?

No, not at present.

And one python thingie: what would be the preferred way to use a python library 
inside a threaded environment? I've seen that there's a twisted integrated non 
qpid library for that, but I can't get it up and running with qpid.

That library is based on the 0-8 or 0-9 version of the protocol and thus will not work with qpidd (the c++ based broker). It should work with the java based broker as that supports the older versions of AMQP as well.
