Description

dmqproto is a library that contains the protocol for the Distributed Message Queue (DMQ), including:

• The DMQ client (src.dmqproto.client).
• Base classes for the protocol handling parts of the DMQ node (src.dmqproto.node).
• A simple, "fake" DMQ node, for use in tests (src.fakedmq).
• A turtle env extension (src.turtle.env.Dht) providing a fake DMQ node for use in tests, including methods to inspect and modify its contents.
• A thorough test of the DMQ protocol, using the client to connect to a node. The test is run, in this repo, on a fake node, but it can be reused in other repos to test real node implementations. (src.dmqtest)
