Message Objects - kombu.message

Message class.

class kombu.message.Message(body=None, delivery_tag=None, content_type=None, content_encoding=None, delivery_info=None, properties=None, headers=None, postencode=None, accept=None, channel=None, **kwargs)[source]

Base class for received messages.

Keyword Arguments

  • channel (ChannelT) – If message was received, this should be the channel that the message was received on.

  • body (str) – Message body.

  • delivery_mode (bool) – Set custom delivery mode. Defaults to delivery_mode.

  • priority (int) – Message priority, 0 to broker configured max priority, where higher is better.

  • content_type (str) – The messages content_type. If content_type is set, no serialization occurs as it is assumed this is either a binary object, or you’ve done your own serialization. Leave blank if using built-in serialization as our library properly sets content_type.

  • content_encoding (str) – The character set in which this object is encoded. Use “binary” if sending in raw binary objects. Leave blank if using built-in serialization as our library properly sets content_encoding.

  • properties (Dict) – Message properties.
