Pidbox - kombu.pidbox

Generic process mailbox.

Introduction

Creating the applications Mailbox

>>> mailbox = pidbox.Mailbox('celerybeat', type='direct')

>>> @mailbox.handler
>>> def reload_schedule(state, **kwargs):
...     state['beat'].reload_schedule()

>>> @mailbox.handler
>>> def connection_info(state, **kwargs):
...     return {'connection': state['connection'].info()}

Example Node

>>> connection = kombu.Connection()
>>> state = {'beat': beat,
             'connection': connection}
>>> consumer = mailbox(connection).Node(hostname).listen()
>>> try:
...     while True:
...         connection.drain_events(timeout=1)
... finally:
...     consumer.cancel()

Example Client

>>> mailbox.cast('reload_schedule')   # cast is async.
>>> info = celerybeat.call('connection_info', timeout=1)
