zmq¶
Python bindings for 0MQ.
Basic Classes¶
Context
¶
-
class
zmq.
Context
(io_threads=1, **kwargs)¶ Create a zmq Context
A zmq Context creates sockets via its
ctx.socket
method.-
closed
¶ boolean - whether the context has been terminated. If True, you can no longer use this Context.
-
destroy
(linger=None)¶ Close all sockets associated with this context and then terminate the context.
Warning
destroy involves calling
zmq_close()
, which is NOT threadsafe. If there are active sockets in other threads, this must not be called.- Parameters
linger (int, optional) – If specified, set LINGER on sockets prior to closing them.
-
get
(option)¶ Get the value of a context option.
See the 0MQ API documentation for zmq_ctx_get for details on specific options.
New in version libzmq-3.2.
New in version 13.0.
-
getsockopt
(opt)¶ get default socket options for new sockets created by this Context
New in version 13.0.
-
classmethod
instance
(io_threads=1)¶ Returns a global Context instance.
Most single-threaded applications have a single, global Context. Use this method instead of passing around Context instances throughout your code.
A common pattern for classes that depend on Contexts is to use a default argument to enable programs with multiple Contexts but not require the argument for simpler applications:
class MyClass(object): def __init__(self, context=None): self.context = context or Context.instance()
Changed in version 18.1: When called in a subprocess after forking, a new global instance is created instead of inheriting a Context that won’t work from the parent process.
-
set
(option, optval)¶ Set a context option.
See the 0MQ API documentation for zmq_ctx_set for details on specific options.
New in version libzmq-3.2.
New in version 13.0.
-
setsockopt
(opt, value)¶ set default socket options for new sockets created by this Context
New in version 13.0.
-
classmethod
shadow
(address)¶ Shadow an existing libzmq context
address is the integer address of the libzmq context or an FFI pointer to it.
New in version 14.1.
-
classmethod
shadow_pyczmq
(ctx)¶ Shadow an existing pyczmq context
ctx is the FFI zctx_t * pointer
New in version 14.1.
-
socket
(socket_type, **kwargs)¶ Create a Socket associated with this Context.
- Parameters
socket_type (int) – The socket type, which can be any of the 0MQ socket types: REQ, REP, PUB, SUB, PAIR, DEALER, ROUTER, PULL, PUSH, etc.
kwargs – will be passed to the __init__ method of the socket class.
-
term
()¶ Close or terminate the context.
Context termination is performed in the following steps:
Any blocking operations currently in progress on sockets open within context shall raise
zmq.ContextTerminated
. With the exception of socket.close(), any further operations on sockets open within this context shall raisezmq.ContextTerminated
.- After interrupting all blocking calls, term shall block until the following conditions are satisfied:
All sockets open within context have been closed.
For each socket within context, all messages sent on the socket have either been physically transferred to a network peer, or the socket’s linger period set with the zmq.LINGER socket option has expired.
For further details regarding socket linger behaviour refer to libzmq documentation for ZMQ_LINGER.
This can be called to close the context by hand. If this is not called, the context will automatically be closed when it is garbage collected.
-
underlying
¶ The address of the underlying libzmq context
-
Socket
¶
-
class
zmq.
Socket
(*a, **kw)¶ The ZMQ socket object
To create a Socket, first create a Context:
ctx = zmq.Context.instance()
then call
ctx.socket(socket_type)
:s = ctx.socket(zmq.ROUTER)
-
closed
¶ boolean - whether the socket has been closed. If True, you can no longer use this Socket.
-
copy_threshold
¶ integer - size (in bytes) below which messages should always be copied. Zero-copy support has nontrivial overhead due to the need to coordinate garbage collection with the libzmq IO thread, so sending small messages (typically < 10s of kB) with
copy=False
is often more expensive than withcopy=True
. The initial default value is 65536 (64kB), a reasonable default based on testing.Defaults to
zmq.COPY_THRESHOLD
on socket construction. Settingzmq.COPY_THRESHOLD
will define the default value for any subsequently created sockets.New in version 17.
-
bind
(addr)¶ Bind the socket to an address.
This causes the socket to listen on a network port. Sockets on the other side of this connection will use
Socket.connect(addr)
to connect to this socket.Returns a context manager which will call unbind on exit.
New in version 20.0: Can be used as a context manager.
- Parameters
addr (str) – The address string. This has the form ‘protocol://interface:port’, for example ‘tcp://127.0.0.1:5555’. Protocols supported include tcp, udp, pgm, epgm, inproc and ipc. If the address is unicode, it is encoded to utf-8 first.
-
bind_to_random_port
(addr, min_port=49152, max_port=65536, max_tries=100)¶ Bind this socket to a random port in a range.
If the port range is unspecified, the system will choose the port.
- Parameters
addr (str) – The address string without the port to pass to
Socket.bind()
.min_port (int, optional) – The minimum port in the range of ports to try (inclusive).
max_port (int, optional) – The maximum port in the range of ports to try (exclusive).
max_tries (int, optional) – The maximum number of bind attempts to make.
- Returns
port – The port the socket was bound to.
- Return type
- Raises
ZMQBindError – if max_tries reached before successful bind
-
close
(linger=None)¶ Close the socket.
If linger is specified, LINGER sockopt will be set prior to closing.
Note: closing a zmq Socket may not close the underlying sockets if there are undelivered messages. Only after all messages are delivered or discarded by reaching the socket’s LINGER timeout (default: forever) will the underlying sockets be closed.
This can be called to close the socket by hand. If this is not called, the socket will automatically be closed when it is garbage collected.
-
connect
(addr)¶ Connect to a remote 0MQ socket.
Returns a context manager which will call disconnect on exit.
New in version 20.0: Can be used as a context manager.
- Parameters
addr (str) – The address string. This has the form ‘protocol://interface:port’, for example ‘tcp://127.0.0.1:5555’. Protocols supported are tcp, upd, pgm, inproc and ipc. If the address is unicode, it is encoded to utf-8 first.
-
disable_monitor
()¶ Shutdown the PAIR socket (created using get_monitor_socket) that is serving socket events.
New in version 14.4.

- Parameters
addr (str) – The address string. This has the form ‘protocol://interface:port’, for example ‘tcp://127.0.0.1:5555’. Protocols supported are tcp, upd, pgm, inproc and ipc. If the address is unicode, it is encoded to utf-8 first.
-
fileno
()¶ Return edge-triggered file descriptor for this socket.

classmethod
shadow
(address)¶ Shadow an existing libzmq socket
address is the integer address of the libzmq socket or an FFI pointer to it.
New in version 14.1.
-
subscribe
(topic)¶ Subscribe to a topic
Only for SUB sockets.
New in version 15.3.

-
Frame
¶
-
class
zmq.
Frame
(data=None, track=False, copy=None, copy_threshold=zmq.COPY_THRESHOLD)¶ A zmq message Frame class for non-copy send/recvs.
This class is only needed if you want to do non-copying send and recvs. When you pass a string to this class, like
Frame(s)
, the ref-count of s is increased by two: once because the Frame saves s as an instance attribute and another because a ZMQ message is created that points to the buffer of s. This second ref-count increase makes sure that s lives until all messages that use it have been sent. Once 0MQ sends all the messages and it doesn’t need the buffer of s, 0MQ will callPy_DECREF(s)
.- Parameters
data (object, optional) – any object that provides the buffer interface will be used to construct the 0MQ message data.
track (bool [default: False]) – whether a MessageTracker should be created to track this object. Tracking a message has a cost at creation, because it creates a threadsafe Event object.
copy (bool [default: use copy_threshold]) – Whether to create a copy of the data to pass to libzmq or share the memory with libzmq. If unspecified, copy_threshold is used.
copy_threshold (int [default: zmq.COPY_THRESHOLD]) – If copy is unspecified, messages smaller than this many bytes will be copied and messages larger than this will be shared with libzmq.
-
buffer
¶ A read-only buffer view of the message contents.
-
bytes
¶ The message content as a Python bytes object.
The first time this property is accessed, a copy of the message contents is made. From then on that same copy of the message is returned.
-
get
(option)¶ Get a Frame option or property.
See the 0MQ API documentation for zmq_msg_get and zmq_msg_gets for details on specific options.
New in version libzmq-3.2.
New in version 13.0.
Changed in version 14.3: add support for zmq_msg_gets (requires libzmq-4.1)

New in version 13.0.
Changed in version 17.0: Added support for routing_id and group. Only available if draft API is enabled with libzmq >= 4.2.
MessageTracker
¶
-
class
zmq.
MessageTracker
(*towatch)¶ A class for tracking if 0MQ is done using one or more messages.
When you send a 0MQ message, it is not sent immediately. The 0MQ IO thread sends the message at some later time. Often you want to know when 0MQ has actually sent the message though. This is complicated by the fact that a single 0MQ message can be sent multiple times using different sockets. This class allows you to track all of the 0MQ usages of a message.
- Parameters
towatch (Event, MessageTracker, Message instances.) – This objects to track. This class can track the low-level Events used by the Message class, other MessageTrackers or actual Messages.
-
property
done
¶ Is 0MQ completely done with the message(s) being tracked?
Polling¶
Poller

-
modify
(socket, flags=3)¶ Modify the flags for an already registered 0MQ socket or native fd.
-
poll
(timeout=None)¶ Poll the registered 0MQ or native fds for I/O.
If there are currently events ready to be processed, this function will return immediately. Otherwise, this function will return as soon the first event is available or after timeout milliseconds have elapsed.
- Parameters
timeout (float, int) – The timeout in milliseconds. If None, no timeout (infinite). This is in milliseconds to be compatible with
select.poll()
.- Returns
events – The list of events that are ready to be processed. This is a list of tuples of the form
(socket, event_mask)
, where the 0MQ Socket or integer fd is the first element, and the poll event mask (POLLIN, POLLOUT) is the second. It is common to callevents = dict(poller.poll())
, which turns the list of tuples into a mapping ofsocket : event_mask
.- Return type
list of tuples
-
register
(socket, flags=POLLIN | POLLOUT)¶ Register a 0MQ socket or native fd for I/O monitoring.
register(s,0) is equivalent to unregister(s).
- Parameters
socket (zmq.Socket or native socket) – A zmq.Socket or any Python object having a
fileno()
method that returns a valid file descriptor.flags (int) – The events to watch for. Can be POLLIN, POLLOUT or POLLIN|POLLOUT. If flags=0, socket will be unregistered.
-
-
zmq.
select
(rlist, wlist, xlist, timeout=None)¶ Return the result of poll as a lists of sockets ready for r/w/exception.
This has the same interface as Python’s built-in
select.select()
function.- Parameters
timeout (float, int, optional) – The timeout in seconds. If None, no timeout (infinite). This is in seconds to be compatible with
select.select()
.rlist (list of sockets/FDs) – sockets/FDs to be polled for read events
wlist (list of sockets/FDs) – sockets/FDs to be polled for write events
xlist (list of sockets/FDs) – sockets/FDs to be polled for error events
