Greenstalk Documentation¶

Greenstalk is a Python client library for communicating with the beanstalkd work queue. It makes it easy to write:

Producers, processes that insert jobs into a queue:

import greenstalk

with greenstalk.Client(('127.0.0.1', 11300)) as client:
    client.put('hello')

Consumers, processes that take jobs from a queue and execute some work:

import greenstalk

with greenstalk.Client(('127.0.0.1', 11300)) as client:
    while True:
        job = client.reserve()
        print(job.body)
        client.delete(job)

This library is a thin wrapper over the wire protocol. The documentation doesn’t attempt to fully explain the semantics of the beanstalk protocol. It’s assumed that users of this library will be referring to the official beanstalkd documentation.
