IBM MQ with Python on macOS
How can developers on Apple Silicon get a repeatable IBM MQ setup and learn point-to-point messaging fast?

Running IBM MQ on Apple Silicon was harder than expected, and most guides assumed x86. I built a containerized IBM MQ Developer Edition setup with scripts to configure queues/channels and Python producer/consumer examples using ibmmq. The clearest learning came from a minimal end-to-end flow paired with explicit container steps. I handled environment setup, documentation, and sample code. The repository is here: Repo.
