It looks like setting heartbeats is as simple as passing heartbeat=30
to __init__ in AMQClient.  I hope that solves the rabbitmq server
problem where connections appear established even though, the client
has dropped the connection because of bad network connectivity.  This
post said heartbeats fix the issue

Do the heartbeats also tell the server to do something or are they
only a client side setting.
