beanstalkc is a simple beanstalkd client library for Python. beanstalkd is a fast, distributed, in-memory workqueue service.
beanstalkc depends on PyYAML, but there are ways to avoid this dependency. See Appendix A of the tutorial for details.
beanstalkc is pure Python, and is compatible with eventlet and gevent.
beanstalkc is currently only supported on Python 2 and automatically tested against Python 2.6 and 2.7. Python 3 is not (yet) supported.
Here is a short example, to illustrate the flavor of beanstalkc:
>>> import beanstalkc
>>> beanstalk = beanstalkc.Connection(host='localhost', port=14711)
>>> beanstalk.put('hey!')
1
>>> job = beanstalk.reserve()
>>> job.body
'hey!'
>>> job.delete()
