Re: [paho-dev] Python MQTT client publish.single/multiple blocks indefinitely?

Hi Tony,

publish.single() and multiple() do use loop_forever() which will block
"forever", but they use callbacks to break out of this. The
_on_publish() callback calls disconnect() when all of the messages
have been sent, and this (should) cause it to drop out of the
loop_forever() call.

If that isn't working for you, can you describe something about your
setup? (OS, Python version, ...)

Cheers,

Roger
