Hi,

I'm very happy to announce the release of PyMQI 1.2, the open-source library for connecting Python code to WebSphere MQ.

Introduction

PyMQI allows users to connect Python applications to WebSphere MQ queue managers.

It can be used to develop test harnesses for WebSphere MQ based systems, for rapid prototyping of WebSphere MQ applications, for development of administrative GUIs or for mainstream MQ application development.

PyMQI has been used in production environments for several years on Linux, Windows, Solaris and AIX with queue managers running on Linux, Windows, Solarix, AIX, HP-UX and z/OS mainframe. Supported WebSphere MQ versions are 5.0, 5.1, 5.3, 6.0 and 7.0.

What's new

* Added support for MQ 7.0-style publish/subscribe
* Added support for creating and parsing of MQRFH2 headers
* Added new constants in the CMQZC.py module
* Added new structures - MQSRO, MQSD, MQTM, MQTMC2
* PyMQI now supports byte strings
* New MQ verb - MQSUB
* Simplified establishing connections to queue managers
* Added means for checking whether a client application is connected to a queue manager

Special thanks to Hannes Wagener for his extraordinary contributions in the area of publish/subscribe and MQRFH2!

Hello world with PyMQI

Here's an example showing how easy it is to connect to WebSphere MQ and put a message on a queue.

import pymqi

qmgr = pymqi.connect("QM01", "SVRCONN.1", "192.168.1.121(1434)")

q = pymqi.Queue(qmgr, "TEST.QUEUE.1")
q.put("Hello from Python")
