| [paho-dev] Python publish single() |
Hi all, I've just had a reminder that I've not publicised something I added to the Python client code recently. I've added a new module which is for helper functions for publishing. It can be accessed with e.g. import paho.mqtt.publish as publish At the moment the only function that exists is single(). This blocking function connects to a broker, publishes a single message and disconnects cleanly. I'm using it myself in a script that runs once an hour to scrape a single value from a webpage and publish it. I'm sure you can think of other applications. The code (including the documentation) looks like this: http://git.eclipse.org/c/paho/org.eclipse.paho.mqtt.python.git/tree/src/paho/mqtt/publish.py and there is an example here: http://git.eclipse.org/c/paho/org.eclipse.paho.mqtt.python.git/tree/examples/pub-single.py The version of the code on pypi has this new module, so you can install with "pip install paho-mqtt" if you wish, without having to deal with git. I anticipate another function multiple() coming along in the future. Enjoy! Roger
