I'm really only concerned with publishing.  Consuming happens using
another rabbitmq connection.  When you say stop the event loop, do you
mean the poll loop in IOLoop?  The reason I implemented multiple
threads for publishing was that the ioloop start() call doesn't
return.  Calling ioloop.start() seemed to be the only way to initiate
a rabbitmq connection for publishing.  Is there a non-blocking way to
establish a connection?  Should I call ioloop.start(), wait for the
channel/exchange/queue callbacks to occur, then call ioloop.stop()?  I
tried this, but the stop() call hangs.

Thanks,
