 """Receive a batch of messages from an AMQP endpoint. :param source: The AMQP source endpoint to receive from. :type source: str, bytes or ~uamqp.address.Source :param auth: The authentication credentials for the endpoint. This should be one of the subclasses of ~uamqp.authentication.AMQPAuth. Currently this includes: - uamqp.authentication.SASLAnonymous - uamqp.authentication.SASLPlain - uamqp.authentication.SASTokenAuth If no authentication is supplied, SASLAnnoymous will be used by default. :type auth: ~uamqp.authentication.common.AMQPAuth :param max_batch_size: The maximum number of messages to return in a batch. If the receiver receives a smaller number than this, it will not wait to return them so the actual number returned can be anything up to this value. If the receiver reaches a timeout, an empty list will be returned. :param timeout: The timeout in milliseconds after which to return if no messages are retrieved. If set to `0` (the default), the receiver will not timeout and will continue to wait for messages until interrupted. :param debug: Whether to turn on network trace logs. If `True`, trace logs will be logged at INFO level. Default is `False`. :type debug: bool :rtype: list[~uamqp.message.Message] """
