aMQTT
======
``aMQTT`` is an open source `MQTT`_ client and broker implementation.
Built on top of :mod:`asyncio`, Python's standard asynchronous I/O framework, aMQTT provides a straightforward API
based on coroutines, making it easy to write highly concurrent applications.
Features
--------
aMQTT implements the full set of `MQTT 3.1.1`_ protocol specifications and provides the following features:
- Support QoS 0, QoS 1 and QoS 2 messages flow
- Client auto-reconnection on network lost
- Authentication through password file (more methods can be added through a plugin system)
- Basic ``$SYS`` topics
- TCP and websocket support
- SSL support over TCP and websocket
- Plugin system
Requirements
------------
aMQTT is built on Python's `asyncio`.
It requires Python 3.6 or newer.
Installation
------------
It is not recommended to install third-party library in Python system packages directory. The preferred way for
installing aMQTT is to create a virtual environment and then install all the dependencies you need. Refer to
`PEP 405`_ to learn more.
Once you have a environment setup and ready, aMQTT can be installed with the following command ::
(venv) $ pip install amqtt
``pip`` will download and install aMQTT and all its dependencies.
User guide
----------
If you need aMQTT for running a MQTT client or deploying a MQTT broker, the :doc:`quickstart` describes how to use console scripts provided by aMQTT.
If you want to develop an application which needs to connect to a MQTT broker, the :doc:`references/mqttclient` documentation explains how to use aMQTT API for connecting, publishing and subscribing with a MQTT broker.
If you want to run you own MQTT broker, th :doc:`references/broker` reference documentation explains how to embed a MQTT broker inside a Python application.
News and updates are listed in the :doc:`changelog`.
