Create RabbitMq Exchange, Queue and Bindings dynamically from CLI on Windows

I already had a RabbitMQ Server installed and running with multiple queue and exchange and now wanted to create it on the fly from command line. I know it is an old question but I thought giving out this information will be helpful.

Following is what I did:

Setup

1. Downloaded and installed Python 2.6.6-201008-24 Windows x86-64 MSI installer , any version of python greater than 2.X but not 3.X
2. Download RabbitMqAdmin: RabbitMq Web User Interface has a link Command Line which navigates to http://server-name:15672/cli/ (server-name: server on which rabbitmq is installed) alternatively,use the above url and save the file as rabbitmqadmin.exe in the python exe location

eg: C:\Python26\ C:\Python26\python C:\Python26\rabbitmqadmin.exe

Code:in a batch file used the below commands

1. Create exchange:

   c:\python26\python.exe rabbitmqadmin.exe declare exchange name=ExchangeName1 type=topic durable=true

2. Create queue:

   c:\python26\python.exe rabbitmqadmin.exe declare queue name=NameofQueue1 durable=true

3. Create binding:

   c:\python26\python.exe rabbitmqadmin.exe declare binding source=ExchangeName1 destination_type=queue destination=NameofQueue1 routing_key=RoutingKey1

by executing rabbitmqadmin.exe -help -subcommands it lists all the available commands

eg: c:\python26\python.exe rabbitmqadmin.exe -help -subcommands
