[rabbitmq-discuss] Using Pika and PyQtGraph (Qt event loop and BlockingConnection)

Tue May 13 19:50:47 BST 2014

Hello,

thanks for your reply.

I don't know Tornado at all.

I'm not a very talented developer....
Talking to me of "eventlet on pyqt" or "gevent on pyqt" looks like poetry
to me ;-)

Luke also said me something else:
"One solution that will likely work for you is to move your MQ code to a
new thread, and send a signal back to the GUI thread whenever a message
arrives."

Can someone from RabbitMQ dev team be in touch with PyQt / PySide dev teams
and also PyQtGraph devs in order to have a very basic sample example
because displaying realtime
data coming from a messaging queue could be useful.

One basic example could be:
one python script connect to RabbitMQ and send a random number
an other script receive data and plot them into a PyQtGraph.

I'm not very familiar with threading so I wonder
what will happen if thread that will receive data will take more time to
compute data
(do some calculations on these data) than task to display them
