Short question: I am considering two solutions for a distributed system: either RabbitMQ with py-amqplib or ApacheQpid with its own set of API. I wander is any of you would be able to compare the two. In particular, I would expect that since Apache comes with its own documented Python API this would be sufficient to put it as a first choice.
Background: I have a main machine dispatching heavy calculations to different machines, collecting the results, performing some calculation on the merged results and starting all over again with fresher data. I implemented a first solution with Twisted PB, then I decided it was more flexible to rely on an AMQP system and I started looking at RabbitMQ with txAMQP . Now I am getting really frustrated with the complexity of Twisted and the reactor, I am realizing that probably I don’t need to handle asynchronicity. Some degree of asynchronicity is already handled by the Messaging system and I don’t need to take care of it in my components (they keep waiting for a message, when they get it they are fully engaged in processing and they cannot do much more).
