I recently looked carefully at py-amqplib to act as an AMQP client to a RabbitMQ broker. The latter tool is written in Erlang.
If you're looking to decouple your app. then why couple it to the language itself? Consider using message queues which are language neutral and then you've really got room to grow!
That being said, AMQP takes effort to understand and may be more than you are willing to take on if your app. is working just fine as is. YMMV.
