You can add plugin rabbitmq_management

sudo /usr/lib/rabbitmq/bin/rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management
sudo service rabbitmq-server restart

Then use rest-api

import requests

def rest_queue_list(user='guest', password='guest', host='localhost', port=15672, virtual_host=None):
    url = 'http://%s:%s/api/queues/%s' % (host, port, virtual_host or '')
    response = requests.get(url, auth=(user, password))
    queues = [q['name'] for q in response.json()]
    return queues

I'm using requests library in this example, but it is not significantly.

Also I found library that do it for us - pyrabbit

from pyrabbit.api import Client
cl = Client('localhost:15672', 'guest', 'guest')
queues = [q['name'] for q in cl.get_queues()]
