[rabbitmq-discuss] Pika: Error when doing a stop_consuming() from a timeout callback

Thu Jul 28 23:45:40 BST 2011

Hi,

I want to stop the consuming loop of a BlockingConnection after some 
timeout. I used the following code. Producer is not running because I
want to simulate the timeout. Current pika version is used from github.

--------8<--------- snip ----------8<-----------
import pika
connection = pika.BlockingConnection(pika.ConnectionParameters(
                                 host='localhost'))

channel = connection.channel()

result = channel.queue_declare(exclusive=True)
callback_queue = result.method.queue

def on_response(self, ch, method, props, body):
    #do some processing
    channel.stop_consuming()

# normaly i do some publish here but that's not relevant
# to reproduce the error

channel.basic_consume(on_response, no_ack=True,
    queue=callback_queue)

def panic():
    channel.stop_consuming()

connection.add_timeout(1, panic)
channel.start_consuming()

--------8<------- snip end --------8<-----------

But I get the following error:

--------8<--------- snip ----------8<-----------
$ python pika_test.py

TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

What I am doing wrong? Are the timeout callbacks not capable of stopping 
the consumer?
