Persistence / Durability problems with 0.5 python client and C++ broker.

Hello,

I have not discovered how to send persistent messages on a durable
queue using the python client and the c++ broker.

There are three issues: documentation, the python code/exception, and
the chat channel:


The documentation:

The documentation here could be improved by simply adding: "queue -
the queue name" and perhaps mentioning that "durable" is a bool (if
this is correct):
http://qpid.apache.org/docs/api/python/html/public/qpid.generator.CommandInvoker_0_10-class.html#queue_declare


The python exception and code:

I have installed the C++ broker and the client libraries, both from
the 0.5 tarballs (qpidc-0.5 and qpid-0.5).  I launch the broker with:
$ qpidd --auth no --port $myport

Next, I have a test which uses the python client to deliver and
retrieve a message.  This works (without a durable queue or a
persistent message).  When I try \
enabling durability/persistence (source below), I get the following exception:

---
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "[...]/src/qpid-0.5/python/qpid/packer.py", line 36, in pack
    self.write(struct.pack(fmt, *args))
error: required argument is not an integer

The changes between the working test and the test which causes that
exception are:

The chat:

I've joined #qpid on freenode, but accounts there seem to be asleep.
The topic for #qpid is: "you can also find more qpid folks at
partychat0 at gmail.com on \
the qpid channel".  I've googled a bit, but I am unable to add
partychat0@gmail.com as a friend.  Can anyone point me in the proper
direction?  Also, this shou\
ld be clearly documented on this page, IMO:

http://qpid.apache.org/getting-involved.html


Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You will also need to load a persistence module. On linux you can use 
http://www.qpidcomponents.org/download.html#persistence.

delivery_mode is an integer value, you can use 
session.delivery_mode.persistent for that

i.e. here you want:

 
message=Message(self.session.delivery_properties(routing_key=self.queuename, 
delivery_mode=self.session.delivery_mode.persistent),
