Have you read Tony's article about how to install and run the STOMP
adapter (which is not bundled with the Rabbit package for Debian)?

http://www.lshift.net/blog/2008/04/30/stomp-adapter-updated-for-rabbitmq-130

IIRC, this also contains client examples in Ruby and Perl.

Also, if you would send in the error or ordinary response messages, it
would help other people diagnose the problem.

BTW, is your goal to speak to Rabbit from Python fullstop, or do you
specifically need to use STOMP?

If you are just interested in the former, you may just want to start
out with Barry's Python library for AMQP:

HTH,
