Internal Distribution

For distributing within your organization, you can:

1. Share the wheel file directly:

   # Build the package
   python -m build
   
   # Share the .whl file from dist/ directory
   pip install mqtt_event_listener-1.0.2-py3-none-any.whl

2. Set up an internal package index or use your organization's private repository

3. Install directly from your internal git server:

   pip install git+https://www.github.com/mqtt-client.git

Quick Start

Basic Usage

import asyncio
from Listener import EventListener, EventListenerConfig

# Create configuration
config = EventListenerConfig(
    host="localhost",
    port=1883,
    username="your_username",
    password="your_password",
    topic="your/topic",
    client_id="my-listener"
)

# Initialize listener
listener = EventListener(config)

# Define your message processing function
def process_message(data, job_id):
    """Process incoming TOML messages"""
    print(f"Processing job {job_id}: {data}")
    
    # Your processing logic here
    # The result should be a dictionary that will be serialized to TOML
    result = {"status": "processed", "job_id": job_id}
    
    # Return results to be published back
    return ReturnType(
        data=result,
        topic="results/topic",
        qos=0,
        retain=False,
        message_id=1,
        timestamp=datetime.now(),
        job_id=job_id
    )

# Run the listener
async def main():
    await listener.run(process_message)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

Advanced Configuration

from Listener import EventListenerConfig, SafeConfigParser

# Advanced configuration with SSL and custom settings
config = EventListenerConfig(
    host="mqtt.example.com",
    port=8883,
    username="user",
    password="pass",
    topic="events/+",  # Wildcard topic
    client_id="advanced-listener",
    
    # SSL/TLS settings
    cafile="/path/to/ca.crt",
    
    # Job tracking settings
    max_jobs_in_memory=10000,
    job_cleanup_interval=3600,  # 1 hour
    allow_job_id_generation=True,
    duplicate_action="reprocess",
    
    # MQTT client settings
    keep_alive=60,
    auto_reconnect=True,
    reconnect_retries=5,
    cleansession=False,
    
    # Custom topics for different message types
    error_topic="errors",
    log_topic="logs", 
    results_topic="results"
)

# Use custom config parser
config_parser = SafeConfigParser()
listener = EventListener(config, config_parser)

Configuration

The EventListenerConfig class provides comprehensive configuration options:

Connection Settings

• host: MQTT broker hostname
• port: MQTT broker port
• username, password: Authentication credentials
• client_id: Unique client identifier

Topic Settings

• topic: Primary subscription topic
• error_topic: Topic for error messages
• log_topic: Topic for log messages
• results_topic: Topic for result publishing

Job Tracking

• max_jobs_in_memory: Maximum jobs to keep in memory
• job_cleanup_interval: Cleanup interval for completed jobs
• allow_job_id_generation: Auto-generate job IDs if missing
• duplicate_action: How to handle duplicate jobs ("skip", "reprocess", "error")

SSL/TLS Support

• cafile: Path to CA certificate file
• capath: Path to CA certificate directory
• cadata: CA certificate data

Job Management

The library provides comprehensive job tracking:

# Get job status
job_info = await listener.get_job_status("job_123")
print(f"Job status: {job_info.status}")

# Check if job is running
is_running = await listener.is_job_running("job_123")

# Get all jobs by status
running_jobs = await listener.get_running_jobs()
completed_jobs = await listener.get_completed_jobs()
duplicate_jobs = await listener.get_duplicate_jobs()

# Cleanup old completed jobs
await listener.cleanup_old_jobs()

Message Format

The library expects TOML-formatted messages:

job_id = "unique-job-123"
task_type = "data_processing"
priority = "high"

[data]
input_file = "/path/to/input.csv"
output_file = "/path/to/output.json"
parameters = { timeout = 300, retries = 3 }

Error Handling

The library includes robust error handling:

• Configuration validation with detailed error messages
• MQTT connection error handling with automatic reconnection
• Job processing errors with error tracking and reporting
• TOML parsing errors with safe fallback handling
