[rabbitmq-discuss] Python Client for RabbitMQ/AMQP?

I was hoping that was what you meant by 'break' :-)

It would be great if you could try out the Python clients with
RabbitMQ and let the list know how you get on.  As I have mentioned
previously we are very committed to interop since it is both
technically and commercially important to our users.  We want RabbitMQ
to work really well with any AMQP client.
