Overview

nsqworker is a skeletal code of one way to implement nsq consumer(worker) in Python base on pynsq.

Installation

pip install nsqworker

Demo

Go to nsqworker root folder and run:

python bootstrap.py

Publish a message to topic demo:

curl -d '{"clicks": 10}' 'http://127.0.0.1:4151/put?topic=demo'

then the demo worker will output:

demo: demo/pageview, clicks 10

If run bootstrap.py in command like below:

python bootstrap.py --topic=newtopic --channel=newchannel

It will try to run NewtopicNewchannelWorker from workers/newtopic/newtopic_newchannel_worker.py which subscribes messages of newtopic/newchannel, of course, you need implement this worker.

Conventions

  1. Keep all of nsq workers of a topic in a sub-folder named the same as the topic name, eg. nsqworker/workers/demo/
  2. Create a channel's worker in a file named {topic}/{topic}_{channel}_worker.py, eg. workers/demo/demo_pageview_worker.py
  3. Implement the channel worker class, it should inherit from nsqworker.Worker, eg. DemoPageviewWorker(Worker)
  4. Add a functional endswith "_handler"(eg. demo_handler) in the worker to handle messages, this functional will be treated as a message_handler in pynsq automatically, you can add more than one handlers.

It is easy to implement a customize consumer follow this conventions.

Customize your bootstrap.py

from nsqworker.bootstrap import run
# Customize workers_module which default value is nsqworker.workers(The root module of demo workers)
# You should set it to yourpackage.workers.
run("yourpackage.workers")

Then it will load and run workers under yourpackage.workers like nsqworker.bootstrap.py
