[rabbitmq-discuss] 505 UNEXPECTED_FRAME when publishing in a consume handler using pika

Mon Dec 12 11:27:54 GMT 2011

I'm not a Pika expert, but that error message is triggered by wrongly 
interleaved frames on a *single* channel - the most likely cause is 
using a single channel from multiple threads in a client where channels 
are not threadsafe (I suspect Pika is such a client).

Cheers, Simon

I've created some sample code[2] that attempts to put a more user-friendly layer on top of the basic event-drivenSelectConnection, but it's still very simple. :-) I'm doing the following:

If so, what's the best way to handle this?  I'm trying to minimize the number of connections I have to make to the server, as that seems to be the point of multiplexing channels over one connection.
