Welcome to Greenstalk

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)
