Module Detail

class proton.handlers.MessagingHandler(prefetch=10, auto_accept=True, auto_settle=True, peer_close_is_error=False)

Bases: proton._events.Handler, proton._handlers.Acking

A general purpose handler that makes the proton-c events somewhat simpler to deal with and/or avoids repetitive tasks for common use cases.

Parameters

• prefetch (int) – Initial flow credit for receiving messages, defaults to 10.

• auto_accept (bool) – If True, accept all messages (default). Otherwise messages must be individually accepted or rejected.

• auto_settle (bool) – If True, settle all messages (default). Otherwise messages must be explicitly settled.

• peer_close_is_error (bool) – If True, a peer endpoint closing will be treated as an error with an error callback. Otherwise (default), the normal callbacks for the closing will occur.

accept(delivery)

This method cannot currently be used in combination with transactions. See proton.reactor.Transaction for transactional methods.

settle(delivery, state=None)

Settles the message delivery, and optionally updating the delivery state.

Parameters

• delivery (proton.Delivery) – The message delivery tracking object

• state (int or None) – The delivery state, or None if not update is to be performed.
