If I have RabbitMQ installed on my machine, is there a way to create a message queue from the command line and bind it to a certain exchange without using a client?

Here is a more minimal Python example, taken from the RabbitMQ Python tutorial.

First, install pika:

sudo easy_install pika
# (or use pip)

This is all you need to send a message to localhost:

import pika

connection = pika.BlockingConnection(pika.ConnectionParameters('localhost'))
channel = connection.channel()

channel.queue_declare(queue='test-queue')
channel.basic_publish(exchange='', routing_key='test-queue', body='Hello World!')
