Getting MSMQ counts via python

Question

I've got a linux webserver running Flask and I want to write a frontend to display MSMQ counts from a remote windows server. I've tried using win32com.client (on windows) using the Peek() method but it is too slow for large queue counts. What options do i have for fetching queue counts?

Could you please show how to get queue count with `Peek()` method? As far as I understand 'Peek()' method always fetches the top message from the queue. — Andrey Grachev, Aug 19 '15 at 13:59

Are you bound to Python only solution?

Perhaps you can write a service based on .NET which exposes an HTTP API and queries MSMQ using some internals stuff demonstrated in Is there a way to check how many messages are in a MSMQ Queue?

I'm not, but i don't know .NET. – user3727436 Oct 07 '14 at 18:22
@user3727436 perhaps you could update your question and share with us what languages (other than Python) are you familiar with? – Ron Klein Oct 08 '14 at 11:00
