Can I get RabbitMq connection id from my Python/kombu client? - python-2.7

Question

When I run this command:
rabbitmqctl list_connections pid
I get output like the following:
<rabbit#my_box.2.1234.0>
<rabbit#my_box.2.1235.0>
Is there a way to read this pid from my kombu client?

RabbitMQ does not expose this kind of internal details through AMQP.
You can get many informations about connections using the management plugin and its REST API. Here is an example:
// JSON returned by http://localhost:15672/api/connections
// ...

However, PIDs are not exposed either through this mechanism.
