See http://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/tutorial-five-python.html

"Messages sent to a topic exchange can't have an arbitrary routing_key - 
it must be *a list of words, delimited by dots*.
...
     * (star) can substitute for exactly one *word*.
     # (hash) can substitute for zero or more *words*.
