[rabbitmq-discuss] (pika) slow asyncore loop?

This loop is plain wrong. During one asyncore_loop anything can happen.
You can't assume that you received a message. You could
have received a single packet, or a timeout, or yet something
else.

I'm afraid the only way to check if you really received a message
is to create some side effet in basic_consume callback.
And use this side effect as a condition for this loop.
Just like the 6th tutorial does.

Sounds like some kind of timeout, isn't it?

Somehow the 6th tutorial works.
