Package: gmqtt
gmqtt: Python async MQTT client implementation.InstallationThe latest stable version is available in the Python Package Index (PyPi) and can be installed usingpip3installgmqttUsageGetting StartedHere is a very simple example that subscribes to the broker TOPIC topic and prints out the resulting messages:importasyncioimportosimportsignalimporttimefromgmqttimportClientasMQTTClient# gmqtt also compatibility with uvloopimportuvloopasyncio.set_event_loop_policy(uvloop.EventLoopPolicy())STOP=asyncio.Event()defon_connect(client,flags,rc,properties):print('Connected')client.subscribe('TEST/#',qos=0)defon_message(client,topic,payload,qos,properties):print('RECV MSG:',payload)defon_disconnect(client,packet,exc=None):print('Disconnected')defon_subscribe(client,mid,qos,properties):print('SUBSCRIBED')defask_exit(*args):STOP.set()asyncdefmain(broker_host,token):client=MQTTClient("client-id")client.on_connect=on_connectclient.on_message=on_messageclient.on_disconnect=on_disconnectclient.on_subscribe=on_subscribeclient.set_auth_credentials(token,None)awaitclient.connect(broker_host)client.publish('TEST/TIME',str(time.time()),qos=1)awaitSTOP.wait()awaitclient.disconnect()if__name__=='__main__':loop=asyncio.get_event_loop()host='mqtt.flespi.io'token=os.environ.get('FLESPI_TOKEN')loop.add_signal_handler(signal.SIGINT,ask_exit)loop.add_signal_handler(signal.SIGTERM,ask_exit)loop.run_until_complete(main(host,token))MQTT Version 5.0gmqtt supports MQTT version 5.0 protocolVersion setupVersion 5.0 is used by default. If your broker does not support 5.0 protocol version and responds with proper CONNACK reason code, client will downgrade to 3.1 and reconnect automatically. Note, that some brokers just fail to parse the 5.0 format CONNECT packet, so first check manually if your broker handles this properly.
You can also force version in connect method:fromgmqtt.mqtt.constantsimportMQTTv311client=MQTTClient('clientid')client.set_auth_credentials(token,None)awaitclient.connect(broker_host,1883,keepalive=60,version=MQTTv311)PropertiesMQTT 5.0 protocol allows to include custom properties into packages, here is example of passing response topic property in published message:TOPIC='testtopic/TOPIC'defon_connect(client,flags,rc,properties):client.subscribe(TOPIC,qos=1)print('Connected')defon_message(client,topic,payload,qos,properties):print('RECV MSG:',topic,payload.decode(),properties)asyncdefmain(broker_host,token):client=MQTTClient('asdfghjk')client.on_message=on_messageclient.on_connect=on_connectclient.set_auth_credentials(token,None)awaitclient.connect(broker_host,1883,keepalive=60)client.publish(TOPIC,'Message payload',response_topic='RESPONSE/TOPIC')awaitSTOP.wait()awaitclient.disconnect()Connect propertiesConnect properties are passed toClientobject as kwargs (later they are stored together with properties received from broker inclient.propertiesfield). See example below.session_expiry_interval-intSession expiry interval in seconds. If the Session Expiry Interval is absent the value 0 is used. If it is set to 0, or is absent, the Session ends when the Network Connection is closed. If the Session Expiry Interval is 0xFFFFFFFF (max possible value), the Session does not expire.receive_maximum-intThe Client uses this value to limit the number of QoS 1 and QoS 2 publications that it is willing to process concurrently.user_property-tuple(str, str)This property may be used to provide additional diagnostic or other information (key-value pairs).maximum_packet_size-intThe Client uses the Maximum Packet Size (in bytes) to inform the Server that it will not process packets exceeding this limit.Example:client=gmqtt.Client("lenkaklient",receive_maximum=24000,session_expiry_interval=60,user_property=('myid','12345'))Publish propertiesThis properties will be also sent in publish packet from broker, they will be passed toon_messagecallback.message_expiry_interval-intIf present, the value is the lifetime of the Application Message in seconds.content_type-unicodeUTF-8 Encoded String describing the content of the Application Message. The value of the Content Type is defined by the sending and receiving application.user_property-tuple(str, str)subscription_identifier-int(see subscribe properties) sent by brokertopic_alias-intFirst client publishes messages with topic string and kwarg topic_alias. After this initial message client can publish message with empty string topic and same topic_alias kwarg.Example:defon_message(client,topic,payload,qos,properties):# properties example here: {'content_type': ['json'], 'user_property': [('timestamp', '1524235334.881058')], 'message_expiry_interval': [60], 'subscription_identifier': [42, 64]}print('RECV MSG:',topic,payload,properties)client.publish('TEST/TIME',str(time.time()),qos=1,retain=True,message_expiry_interval=60,content_type='json')Subscribe propertiessubscription_identifier-intIf the Client specified a Subscription Identifier for any of the overlapping subscriptions the Server MUST send those Subscription Identifiers in the message which is published as the result of the subscriptions.ReconnectsBy default, connected MQTT client will always try to reconnect in case of lost connections. Number of reconnect attempts is unlimited.
If you want to change this behaviour, do the following:client=MQTTClient("client-id")client.set_config({'reconnect_retries':10,'reconnect_delay':60})Code above will set number of reconnect attempts to 10 and delay between reconnect attempts to 1min (60s). By defaultreconnect_delay=6andreconnect_retries=-1which stands for infinity.
Note that manually callingawait client.disconnect()will setreconnect_retriesfor 0, which will stop auto reconnect.Asynchronous on_message callbackYou can define asynchronous on_message callback.
Note that it must return valid PUBACK code (0is success code, see full list inconstants)asyncdefon_message(client,topic,payload,qos,properties):passreturn0Other examplesCheckexamples directoryfor more use cases.
