As part of the ongoing work on mosquitto 0.16, the libmosquitto C client
|
||
|
|
library has been ported to Python. It provides complete MQTTv3.1 support and
|
||
|
|
will eventually remove the need for the current Python wrapper around the C
|
||
|
|
library and will allow it to be used more easily and in more situations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The interface is largely the same as the existing Python wrapper. The
|
||
|
|
differences are that it uses the current development interface which differs
|
||
|
|
slightly from that in 0.15 (see the [Python documentation]), not all of the new
|
||
|
|
interface is implemented - there is no threading support and finally some
|
||
|
|
datatypes may be more Python like (e.g. lists in `on_subscribe()` callback
|
||
|
|
rather than an integer).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The conversion from ~4000 lines C to ~1000 lines Python took just two evenings
|
||
|
|
and is now ready for testing. It is available in the 0.16 branch in the
|
||
|
|
[bitbucket repository], or as a single file at
|
||
|
|
<http://mosquitto.org/files/python/mosquitto.py>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please give it a try and report any bugs you find using any of the methods on
|
||
|
|
the [Support page].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please note that the new Python module does not currently support Python 3.
