How to Mock MQTT Topic Subscriptions with QoS in Python
Build a lightweight MQTT client mock that tracks topic subscriptions with QoS levels and simulates wildcard message delivery.
import time
from collections import defaultdict
class MockMQTTClient:
def __init__(self):
self.subscriptions = defaultdict(list)
self.messages = []
def subscribe(self, topic, qos=0):
self.subscriptions[topic].append(qos)
print(f"Subscribed to '{topic}' with QoS {qos}")
…Simulate RabbitMQ QoS Prefetch Count in Python
Mocks RabbitMQ QoS prefetch semantics using threading and a queue to cap concurrent unacked message processing per worker.
import threading
import time
import queue
class RabbitMQMock:
def __init__(self, prefetch_count=1):
self.prefetch_count = prefetch_count
self.channel_queue = queue.Queue()
self.currently_processing = 0
self.lock = threading.Lock()
def start_consuming(self, messages, worker_co…Browse by section
