[rabbitmq-discuss] Using SelectConnection to simulate a blocking "basic_get"

Matt,

I'm not very familiar with Pika implementation but believe this approach
means you will create a new connection for every delivery. That will be
really inefficient (less than using basic.get).

Maybe running Pika I/O loop in a separate thread would be sufficient?
The only inconvenient part about this is how to gracefully make it shut down
but this can be done.

If you want to have a caller blocking API that uses basic.consume and basic.cancel,
consider using condition variables, e.g. as in [1] (which is not Python but hopefully
close enough).
