Interesting. No, not without source code changes. (I will file a bug to
make this configurable.) First, make sure that all clients negotiate to
as large a frame size as possible, given the maximum that the server
suggests, and then change the (hard coded!) 131072 in rabbit_reader.erl
to some large value and rebuild.

Note that if the *sending* client has a small frame size, but the
*receiving* client has a large frame size, Rabbit will not currently
refragment the messages, so you will still see the problem.

Alternatively, there's py-amqplib and pika.

Cheers,
