BrokerException inherits BaseException and is not caught by except Exception:

[Daniel Dunn]

As per https://peps.python.org/pep-0352/ shouldn't this use Exception?

[Florian Ludwig]

This is fixed in amqtt: https://github.com/Yakifo/amqtt/blob/v0.10.x/amqtt/broker.py#L46

The 0.10.x releases are a drop in replacement for hbmqtt. Let me know if it works for you :)
