It looks like you are attempting to mix Python and Java serialisation
formats. RabbitMQ does not modify or process the message payload in any
way, so if you use incompatible formats then the broker won't solve that
problem for you.

I suggest you select a serialisation format that is supported by all
languages that need to interoperate. JSON, XML, Protocol Buffers and
YAML are popular choices, but there are many more, e.g. see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Data_serialization_formats

Once you have selected and implemented a compatible serialisation format
you should test it by serialising to and deserialising from files. Once
you have that working you can use a broker to pass messages in your
chosen serialisation format between clients.
