Here is an example README.md file that could be included with the RabbitMQ Python code:

This project shows an example implementation of various messaging best practices using RabbitMQ and Pika in Python.

The code demonstrates:

• Use of durable queues, exchanges and bindings for reliability
• Manual consumer acknowledgements to confirm delivery
• Persistent messages with correlation ids for tracing
• Dead letter queues to handle failures
• Graceful connection and channel closure

It shows a typical best practice flow:

• Declare durable exchange, queue, bindings
• Publish persistent messages to exchange
• Consume messages from queue and process
• Send acknowledgements on successful processing
• Handle failures by diverting messages to a DLQ

Requires Python and RabbitMQ server installed

To try out basic messaging:
