Description

During the 0-10 conversion, the Python examples have evolved in a direction that doesn't match the way they are used in the tutorial. This patch simplifies the examples.

In addition to overall simplification, it does the following:

• Eliminates use of random numbers for session names, using uuid4 instead
• Separates initialization for the tutorial text from initialization needed for our test environment.

1. Set parameters for login

host="127.0.0.1"
port=5672
user="guest"
password="guest"
amqp_spec="/usr/share/amqp/amqp.0-10.xml"

1. If an alternate host or port has been specified, use that instead
2. (this is used in our unit tests)
   #
3. If AMQP_SPEC is defined, use it to locate the spec file instead of
4. looking for it in the default location.

if len(sys.argv) > 1 :
sys.argv[1]
if len(sys.argv) > 2 :
int(sys.argv[2])

try:
amqp_spec = os.environ["AMQP_SPEC"]
except KeyError:
amqp_spec="/usr/share/amqp/amqp.0-10.xml"
