Example Python Gearman Worker (for python Gearman 2.0)

gearman-worker-example.py

from gearman import GearmanWorker

# The function that will do the work
def echoer(worker, job):
    print job.data
    return job.data

# Establish a connection with the job server on localhost--like the client,
# multiple job servers can be used.
worker = GearmanWorker(['127.0.0.1'])

# register_task will tell the job server that this worker handles the "echo"
# task
worker.register_task('echo', echoer)

# Once setup is complete, begin working by consuming any tasks available
# from the job server
print 'working...'
worker.work()

# The worker will continue to run (waiting for new work) until exited by 
# code or an external signal is caught
