- Connect a peer server:
mbusd -p 7200 --peer 127.0.0.1:7100

About
Pymsgbus is server/client software for passing messages in a
pub-sub pattern. It is built on top of
pyzmq. This means you can use it with the native pymsgbus client or raw zeromq
sockets. See msgbus/pub.py
and msgbus/sub.py
for examples.
Examples
Given the two peered servers created in Quick Start above, and these imports:
from contextlib import closing
from msgbus.client import MsgbusSubClient
This code would print out messages from the "orderbook" channel:
with closing(MsgbusSubClient(host, port)) as client:
client.sub("orderbook")
while True:
channel, message = client.recv()
print("On channel '{}' I got '{}'".format(channel, message))
And this code would send a message on the orderbook channel:
with closing(MsgbusSubClient(host, port)) as client:
for message in messages:
client.pub("orderbook", "hello world")
Because pymsgbus is built on ZeroMQ, you don't have to start the clients or servers in any specific order. You can start the lister client above and then the servers, and ZeroMQ will handle sorting things out. Of course, messages published when there's no server or no listeners are silently list.
