libzmq-4.2 has introduced the concept of unstable DRAFT APIs. As of libzmq-4.2, this includes the CLIENT-SERVER and RADIO-DISH patterns.
Because these APIs are explicitly unstable, pyzmq does not support them by default, and pyzmq binaries (wheels) will not be built with DRAFT API suport. However, pyzmq-17 can be built with draft socket support, as long as you compile pyzmq yourself with a special flag.
To install libzmq with draft support:
bash
export ZMQ_VERSION=4.2.2 export PREFIX=/usr/local
wget https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq/releases/download/v${ZMQ_VERSION}/zeromq-${ZMQ_VERSION}.tar.gz -O libzmq.tar.gz tar -xzf libzmq.tar.gz cd zeromq-${ZMQ_VERSION} ./configure --prefix=${PREFIX} --enable-drafts make -j && make install
And to install pyzmq with draft support:
bash
pip install -v --pre pyzmq --install-option=--enable-drafts --install-option=--zmq=${PREFIX}
By specifying --install-option, pip knows to not install wheels, and will compile pyzmq from source.
The --zmq=$PREFIX part is only necessary if libzmq is installed somewhere not on the default search path. If libzmq is installed in /usr/local or similar, only the --enable-drafts install option is required.
There are examples of the CLIENT-SERVER and RADIO-DISH patterns in the examples/draft directory of the pyzmq repository.
