It will be nice to have in portage http://code.google.com/p/py-amqplib/ Very popular AMQP Python solution.
I have an ebuild for amqplib-0.6.1 in my overlay [1]. Upstream had a lull in development, but it appears that they have picked things back up since March of this year. This particular lib supports AMQP 0-8, meaning that it is missing newer features found in AMQP 0-9-1, however I have not found this to be an issue. In any case, I have been using this ebuild and package in production for many months, works just fine.

This is in the tree now, dev-python/amqplib. Please test and report any issues. Thanks. As a side note, I am looking into a package called pika [1] that provides an updated interface to the AMQP protocol and optional asynchronous operation. [1] https://github.com/pika/pika
