AMQP (amqp.org) is gaining traction. There’s a great Erlang implementation, RabbitMQ, with bindings for Python and lots of other languages.

We wrote a queue for work: http://www.openplans.org/projects/cabochon/ — I know the author looked at ActiveMQ, but I don’t recognize some of the other systems linked to there. We just wanted a simple HTTP-based event queue. All the queue systems I’ve seen seem… well, focused on performance, transactions, etc. I just want to pass around some messages with a simple publish/subscribe model. As casual users the current batch of systems I see all seem quite complex. But maybe there is a less complex subset that would be workable.
