# PyZMQ: Python bindings for ØMQ This package contains Python bindings for [ØMQ](http://www.zeromq.org). ØMQ is a lightweight and fast messaging implementation. PyZMQ should work with any Python ≥ 2.6 (including Python 3), as well as PyPy. The Cython backend used by CPython supports libzmq ≥ 2.1.4 (including 3.2.x), but the CFFI backend used by PyPy only supports libzmq ≥ 3.2.2. ## Versioning Current release of pyzmq is 13.0.1, and targets libzmq-3.2.2. For libzmq 2.0.x, use pyzmq release 2.0.10.1 or the 2.0.x development branch. PyZMQ (on CPython via Cython) continues to support libzmq ≥ 2.1.4. pyzmq-2.1.11 was the last version of pyzmq to support Python 2.5, and pyzmq ≥ 2.2.0 requires Python ≥ 2.6. pyzmq-13.0.0 introduces PyPy support via CFFI, which only supports libzmq-3.2.2 and newer. PyZMQ releases ≤ 2.2.0 matched libzmq versioning, but this will no longer be the case. To avoid confusion with the contemporary libzmq-3.2 major version release, PyZMQ is jumping to 13.0 (it will be the thirteenth release, so why not?). PyZMQ ≥ 13.0 will follow semantic versioning conventions accounting only for PyZMQ itself. For a summary of changes to pyzmq, see our [changelog](http://zeromq.github.com/pyzmq/changelog.html). ### ØMQ 3.x PyZMQ ≥ 2.2.0 fully supports the 3.x API of libzmq, developed at [zeromq/libzmq](https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq). No code to change, no flags to pass, just build pyzmq against libzmq3 and it should work. PyZMQ on PyPy *only* supports the 3.x API of libzmq. ## Documentation See PyZMQ's Sphinx-generated [documentation](http://zeromq.github.com/pyzmq) on GitHub for API details, and some notes on Python and Cython development. If you want to learn about using ØMQ in general, the excellent [ØMQ Guide](http://zguide.zeromq.org) is the place to start, which has a Python version of every example. We also have some information on our [wiki](https://github.com/zeromq/pyzmq/wiki) ## Downloading Unless you specifically want to develop PyZMQ, we recommend downloading the PyZMQ source code, eggs, or MSI installer from [PyPI](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyzmq). You can also get the latest source code from our GitHub repository, but building from the repository will require that you install Cython version 0.16 or later. ## Building and installation For more detail on building pyzmq, see [our Wiki](https://github.com/zeromq/pyzmq/wiki). We build eggs for OS X and Windows, so we generally recommend that those platforms use `easy_install pyzmq`, but `pip install pyzmq` should work on most platforms as well. To build pyzmq from the git repo requires Cython.
