Using a Pika Channel across multiple threads

Though it is clear not to use a single PIKA connection across multiple threads, can we use the channel got of the connection across multiple threads. I was getting this error doing so, and the answer seems to be no. Just posting for reference

Solution

  • Though it is clear not to use a single PIKA connection across multiple threads, can we use the channel got of the connection across multiple threads.

    I am one of Pika's maintainers and no, you can't use connections or channels across threads. This is documented.
