persist-queue
implements a file-based queue and a serial of sqlite3-based queues. The goals is to achieve following requirements:
greenlet
or eventlet
environment.While queuelib and python-pqueue cannot fulfil all of above. After some try, I found it's hard to achieve based on their current implementation without huge code change. this is the motivation to start this project.
By default, persist-queue use pickle object serialization module to support object instances.
Most built-in type, like int
, dict
, list
are able to be persisted by persist-queue
directly, to support customized objects,

Example usage with a SQLite3 based queue ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: python
>>> import persistqueue
>>> q = persistqueue.SQLiteQueue('mypath', auto_commit=True)
>>> q.put('str1')
>>> q.put('str2')
>>> q.put('str3')
>>> q.get()
'str1'
>>> del q
Close the console, and then recreate the queue:
.. code-block:: python
import persistqueue q = persistqueue.SQLiteQueue('mypath', auto_commit=True) q.get() 'str2'
New functions: Available since v0.8.0
shrink_disk_usage
perform a VACUUM
against the sqlite, and rebuild the database file, this usually takes long time and frees a lot of disk space after get()
Example usage of SQLite3 based UniqueQ
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This queue does not allow duplicate items.
.. code-block:: python
import persistqueue q = persistqueue.UniqueQ('mypath') q.put('str1') q.put('str1') q.size 1 q.put('str2') q.size 2
Example usage of SQLite3 based SQLiteAckQueue
/UniqueAckQ
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The core functions:
put
: add item to the queue. Returns id
get
: get item from queue and mark as unack. Returns item
, Optional paramaters (block
, timeout
, id
, next_in_order
, raw
)update
: update an item. Returns id
, Paramaters (item
), Optional parameter if item not in raw format (id
)ack
: mark item as acked. Returns id
, Parameters (item
or id
)nack
: there might be something wrong with current consumer, so mark item as ready and new consumer will get it. Returns id
, Parameters (item
or id
)ack_failed
: there might be something wrong during process, so just mark item as failed. Returns id
, Parameters (item
or id
)clear_acked_data
: perform a sql delete agaist sqlite. It removes 1000 items, while keeping 1000 of the most recent, whose status is AckStatus.acked
(note: this does not shrink the file size on disk) Optional paramters (max_delete
, keep_latest
, clear_ack_failed
)shrink_disk_usage
perform a VACUUM
against the sqlite, and rebuild the database file, this usually takes long time and frees a lot of disk space after clear_acked_data
queue
: returns the database contents as a Python List[Dict]active_size
: The active size changes when an item is added (put) and completed (ack/ack_failed) unlike qsize
which changes when an item is pulled (get) or returned (nack)... code-block:: python
import persistqueue ackq = persistqueue.SQLiteAckQueue('path') ackq.put('str1') item = ackq.get()
Do something with the item
ackq.ack(item) # If done with the item ackq.nack(item) # Else mark item as
nack
so that it can be proceeded again by any worker ackq.ack_failed(item) # Or else mark item asack_failed
to discard this item
Parameters:
clear_acked_data
max_delete
(defaults to 1000): This is the LIMIT. How many items to delete.keep_latest
(defaults to 1000): This is the OFFSET. How many recent items to keep.clear_ack_failed
(defaults to False): Clears the AckStatus.ack_failed
in addition to the AckStatus.ack
.get
raw
(defaults to False): Returns the metadata along with the record, which includes the id (pqid
) and timestamp. On the SQLiteAckQueue, the raw results can be ack, nack, ack_failed similar to the normal return.id
(defaults to None): Accepts an id
or a raw item containing pqid
. Will select the item based on the row id.next_in_order
(defaults to False): Requires the id
attribute. This option tells the SQLiteAckQueue/UniqueAckQ to get the next item based on id
, not the first available. This allows the user to get, nack, get, nack and progress down the queue, instead of continuing to get the same nack'd item over again.raw
example:
.. code-block:: python
q.put('val1') d = q.get(raw=True) print(d) {'pqid': 1, 'data': 'val1', 'timestamp': 1616719225.012912} q.ack(d)
next_in_order
example:
.. code-block:: python
q.put("val1") q.put("val2") q.put("val3") item = q.get() id = q.nack(item) item = q.get(id=id, next_in_order=True) print(item) val2
Note:
UniqueAckQ
only allows for unique itemsExample usage with a file based queue ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Parameters:
path
: specifies the directory wher enqueued data persisted.maxsize
: indicates the maximum size stored in the queue, if maxsize<=0 the queue is unlimited.chunksize
: indicates how many entries should exist in each chunk file on disk. When a all entries in a chunk file was dequeued by get(), the file would be removed from filesystem.tempdir
: indicates where temporary files should be stored. The tempdir has to be located on the same disk as the enqueued data in order to obtain atomic operations.serializer
: controls how enqueued data is serialized.auto_save
: True
or False
. By default, the change is only persisted when task_done() is called. If autosave is enabled, info data is persisted immediately when get() is called. Adding data to the queue with put() will always persist immediately regardless of this setting... code-block:: python
>>> from persistqueue import Queue
>>> q = Queue("mypath")
>>> q.put('a')
>>> q.put('b')
>>> q.put('c')
>>> q.get()
'a'
>>> q.task_done()
Close the python console, and then we restart the queue from the same path,
.. code-block:: python
>>> from persistqueue import Queue
>>> q = Queue('mypath')
>>> q.get()
'b'
>>> q.task_done()
Example usage with an auto-saving file based queue ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Available since: v0.5.0
By default, items added to the queue are persisted during the put()
call,
and items removed from a queue are only persisted when task_done()
is
called.
.. code-block:: python
>>> from persistqueue import Queue
>>> q = Queue("mypath")
>>> q.put('a')
>>> q.put('b')
>>> q.get()
'a'
>>> q.get()
'b'
After exiting and restarting the queue from the same path, we see the items
remain in the queue, because task_done()
wasn't called before.
.. code-block:: python
>>> from persistqueue import Queue
>>> q = Queue('mypath')
>>> q.get()
'a'
>>> q.get()
'b'
This can be advantageous. For example, if your program crashes before finishing
processing an item, it will remain in the queue after restarting. You can also
spread out the task_done()
calls for performance reasons to avoid lots of
individual writes.
Using autosave=True
on a file based queue will automatically save on every
call to get()
. Calling task_done()
is not necessary, but may still be
used to join()
against the queue.
.. code-block:: python
>>> from persistqueue import Queue
>>> q = Queue("mypath", autosave=True)
>>> q.put('a')
>>> q.put('b')
>>> q.get()
'a'
After exiting and restarting the queue from the same path, only the second item remains:
.. code-block:: python
>>> from persistqueue import Queue
>>> q = Queue('mypath', autosave=True)
>>> q.get()
'b'
Example usage with a SQLite3 based dict ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: python
>>> from persisitqueue import PDict
>>> q = PDict("testpath", "testname")
>>> q['key1'] = 123
>>> q['key2'] = 321
>>> q['key1']
123
>>> len(q)
2
>>> del q['key1']
>>> q['key1']
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "persistqueue\pdict.py", line 58, in __getitem__
raise KeyError('Key: {} not exists.'.format(item))
KeyError: 'Key: key1 not exists.'
Close the console and restart the PDict
.. code-block:: python
>>> from persisitqueue import PDict
>>> q = PDict("testpath", "testname")
>>> q['key2']
321
Multi-thread usage for SQLite3 based queue ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: python
from persistqueue import FIFOSQLiteQueue
q = FIFOSQLiteQueue(path="./test", multithreading=True)
def worker():
while True:
item = q.get()
do_work(item)
for i in range(num_worker_threads):
t = Thread(target=worker)
t.daemon = True
t.start()
for item in source():
q.put(item)
multi-thread usage for Queue ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: python
from persistqueue import Queue
q = Queue()
def worker():
while True:
item = q.get()
do_work(item)
q.task_done()
for i in range(num_worker_threads):
t = Thread(target=worker)
t.daemon = True
t.start()
for item in source():
q.put(item)
q.join() # block until all tasks are done
Example usage with a MySQL based queue ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Available since: v0.8.0
.. code-block:: python
>>> import persistqueue
>>> db_conf = {
>>> "host": "127.0.0.1",
>>> "user": "user",
>>> "passwd": "passw0rd",
>>> "db_name": "testqueue",
>>> # "name": "",
>>> "port": 3306
>>> }
>>> q = persistqueue.MySQLQueue(name="testtable", **db_conf)
>>> q.put('str1')
>>> q.put('str2')
>>> q.put('str3')
>>> q.get()
'str1'
>>> del q
Close the console, and then recreate the queue:
.. code-block:: python
import persistqueue q = persistqueue.MySQLQueue(name="testtable", **db_conf) q.get() 'str2'
note
Due to the limitation of file queue described in issue #89 <https://github.com/peter-wangxu/persist-queue/issues/89>
_,
task_done
in one thread may acknowledge items in other threads which should not be. Considering the SQLiteAckQueue
if you have such requirement.
Serialization via msgpack/cbor/json ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: python
>>> from persistqueue
>>> q = persistqueue.Queue('mypath', serializer=persistqueue.serializers.msgpack)
>>> # via cbor2
>>> # q = persistqueue.Queue('mypath', serializer=persistqueue.serializers.cbor2)
>>> # via json
>>> # q = Queue('mypath', serializer=persistqueue.serializers.json)
>>> q.get()
'b'
>>> q.task_done()
Explicit resource reclaim ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
For some reasons, an application may require explicit reclamation for file handles or sql connections before end of execution. In these cases, user can simply call: .. code-block:: python
q = Queue() # or q = persistqueue.SQLiteQueue('mypath', auto_commit=True)
del q
to reclaim related file handles or sql connections.
task_done
is required both for file based queue and SQLite3 based queue (when auto_commit=False
)
to persist the cursor of next get
to the disk.
WAL
Starting on v0.3.2, the persistqueue
is leveraging the sqlite3 builtin feature
WAL <https://www.sqlite.org/wal.html>
_ which can improve the performance
significantly, a general testing indicates that persistqueue
is 2-4 times
faster than previous version.
auto_commit=False
Since persistqueue v0.3.0, a new parameter auto_commit
is introduced to tweak
the performance for sqlite3 based queues as needed. When specify auto_commit=False
, user
needs to perform queue.task_done()
to persist the changes made to the disk since
last task_done
invocation.
pickle protocol selection
From v0.3.6, the persistqueue
will select Protocol version 2
for python2 and Protocol version 4
for python3
respectively. This selection only happens when the directory is not present when initializing the queue.
persist-queue use tox
to trigger tests.
.. code-block:: console
tox -e <PYTHON_VERSION>
Available <PYTHON_VERSION>

, py34
, py35
, py36

_ is usually a helpful tool to manage multiple versions of Python.
Currently, the atomic operation is supported on Windows while still in experimental,
That's saying, the data in persistqueue.Queue
could be in unreadable state when an incidental failure occurs during Queue.task_done
.
DO NOT put any critical data on persistqueue.queue on Windows.

sqlite3.OperationalError: database is locked
is raised.persistqueue open 2 connections for the db if multithreading=True
, the
SQLite database is locked until that transaction is committed. The timeout
parameter specifies how long the connection should wait for the lock to go away
until raising an exception. Default time is 10, increase timeout
when creating the queue if above error occurs.
The sqlite3 queues are heavily tested under multi-threading environment, if you find it's not thread-safe, please
make sure you set the multithreading=True
when initializing the queue before submitting new issue:).
