This mailing list is okay. Tony (the author of pika) is reading
this list, and we also have quite a few Pika users here.

Right. You should not see a 'channel exception' when you're publishing to
a non-existing queue - ie: wrong routing key. Test code:
   https://github.com/majek/dump/blob/master/puka/rpctest.py

On the other hand the 'channel error' while publishing will be triggered
when you're publishing to non-existing *exchange*.

Please check if the exchange exists.

Cheers,
