#----- Initialization --------------------------------------

#  Set parameters for login

port=5672
user="guest"
password="guest"

# If an alternate host or port has been specified, use that instead
# (this is used in our unit tests)

#----- Read from queue --------------------------------------------

# incoming messages.

# The consumer tag identifies the client-side queue.

# Call message_subscribe() to tell the broker to deliver messages
# from the AMQP queue to this local client queue. The broker will
# start delivering messages as soon as credit is allocated using
# queue.start().

session.message_subscribe(queue="message_queue", destination=local_queue_name)
queue.start()

#  Initialize 'final' and 'content', variables used to identify the last message.

final = "That's all, folks!"   # In a message body, signals the last message

	content = message.body

#----- Cleanup ------------------------------------------------

# Clean up before exiting so there are no open threads.
