Using pika.BlockingConnection I would like to consume messages from a queue then exit

Question

I have written a consumer using pika.BlockingConnection and channel.start_consuming() that consumes messages from a specific queue, when the messages are depleted from the queue, the consumer waits indefinitely for the next message.

Is there a way I could specify some sort of timeout duration by which the start_consuming() would exit gracefully if no message has been fetched from the queue by the consumer within the specific time period.

I am using python 3.7.4 and pika 1.1.0 to consume from RabbitMQ 3.7.12.

Answer 1

Use the "consume generator" with a timeout.
