need help with this Kombu error

Pardon the copy and paste from the python interpreter but I'm trying to play with Kombu but I can't seem to create a consumer. Please help, I'm utterly in the dark here.

>>> from kombu.messaging import Consumer, Producer
>>> from kombu.entity import Exchange, Queue
>>> x = Exchange("stmt",type="topic")
>>> helloQ = Queue("hello", exchange=x, routing_key="stmt.hello")
>>>
>>> from kombu.connection import BrokerConnection
>>> conn = BrokerConnection("scheduledb.lab.compete.com", "clippy", "clippy", "clippy")
>>> channel = conn.channel()
>>> c = Consumer(channel, helloQ)

Adding to @asksol's answer. If you are using rabbitmq you can use the rabbitmqctl command to list the queue details and compare those settings with the settings in your own code. Hopefully that gives you enough information to detect the conflict.

Look at the error

amqplib.client_0_8.exceptions.AMQPConnectionException: (530, u"NOT_ALLOWED - parameters for queue 'hello' in vhost 'clippy' not equivalent", (50, 10), 'Channel.queue_declare')

This means the queue has already been declared, but with other parameters than what you are declaring it with now.
