Boron: publish subscribe using mqtt from a python script?

[cloud_nine]

I am planning to create a Python script that will publish messages to multiple Borons.

I am looking at the API here. https://docs.particle.io/reference/device-os/firmware/boron/ It seems Particle.function and Particle.variable can be accessed via REST API. I can easily use Python with that using requests module, however I need the publish subscribe mechanism.

I am planning to run this python script on digitalOcean. I hope there is a way to publish messages to the Borons like for example using mqtt? Any help is highly appreciated.

however I need the publish subscribe mechanism.

Why then not using the Particle.publish() and Particle.subscribe() features?

From Python you can look here
https://docs.particle.io/reference/device-cloud/api/#publish-an-event
https://docs.particle.io/reference/device-cloud/api/#get-a-stream-of-events
