Neat! Do you have an example of it being used in a playbook? I'm open to including these in core if you are interested. Big fan of Rabbit. ---

+1 for this in core, we use it both for our Django stuff (with celery) and our OpenStack stuff. ---

Offhand, since you mentioned celery, what's the state of the art in python scheduling that does \*NOT\* require Django? ---

Do you want to do cron-style task scheduling? I'm pretty sure you can install and use celery without django. Lorin ---

Yes, but also "here's a job now, I want you to be in a queue and run when there's an available slot". > I'm pretty sure you can install and use celery without django. That sounds ideal. Django is not bad, I just end up not using/needing large parts of it. ---

I'm a fan of celery, but if you want a lower-level interface for your message queue system, I suggest you take a look at kombu. ---

I thing it would be great to see these in core. I wasn’t sure how specific the core modules should be but I guess Rabbit is not that obscure. I plan on creating a few more modules, specifically for vhost, policy, and cluster. I will submit a pull request and create a sample playbook that uses these modules. ---

I'm increasingly going to the view that we should be rather 'batteries included' as we can be (except for obscure stuff), as modules are a great way to collaborate and share. So yeah, more power++. We should hold back when things are clearly things that are playbook stuff (setting up a config file) but in many cases when they deal with commands -- especially rabbit, which NEEDS commands to be configured, this belongs in a module for sure. (I once almost wrote a config-file-to-rabbit-config--and-back program at one point many years ago)
