This document describes the current stable version of Celery (5.2). For development docs, go here.

`celery.utils`¶

Utility functions.

Don’t import from here directly anymore, as these are only here for backwards compatibility.

class celery.utils.cached_property(fget=None, fset=None, fdel=None)[source]¶

Implementation of Cached property.

celery.utils.chunks(it, n)[source]¶

Split an iterator into chunks with n elements each.

Warning

it must be an actual iterator, if you pass this a concrete sequence will get you repeating elements.

So chunks(iter(range(1000)), 10) is fine, but chunks(range(1000), 10) is not.

Example

# n == 2 >>> x = chunks(iter([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]), 2) >>> list(x) [[0, 1], [2, 3], [4, 5], [6, 7], [8, 9], [10]]

# n == 3 >>> x = chunks(iter([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]), 3) >>> list(x) [[0, 1, 2], [3, 4, 5], [6, 7, 8], [9, 10]]

celery.utils.gen_task_name(app, name, module_name)[source]¶: Generate task name from name/module pair.

celery.utils.gen_unique_id(_uuid=<function uuid4>)¶: Generate unique id in UUID4 format.

See also

For now this is provided by uuid.uuid4().

celery.utils.get_cls_by_name(name, aliases=None, imp=None, package=None, sep='.', default=None, **kwargs)¶

Get symbol by qualified name.

The name should be the full dot-separated path to the class:

modulename.ClassName

Example:

celery.concurrency.processes.TaskPool
                            ^- class name

or using ‘:’ to separate module and symbol:

celery.concurrency.processes:TaskPool

If aliases is provided, a dict containing short name/long name mappings, the name is looked up in the aliases first.

Examples

>>> symbol_by_name('celery.concurrency.processes.TaskPool')
<class 'celery.concurrency.processes.TaskPool'>

>>> symbol_by_name('default', {
...     'default': 'celery.concurrency.processes.TaskPool'})
<class 'celery.concurrency.processes.TaskPool'>

# Does not try to look up non-string names. >>> from celery.concurrency.processes import TaskPool >>> symbol_by_name(TaskPool) is TaskPool True

celery.utils.import_from_cwd(module, imp=None, package=None)[source]¶

Import module, temporarily including modules in the current directory.

Modules located in the current directory has precedence over modules located in sys.path.

celery.utils.instantiate(name, *args, **kwargs)[source]¶: Instantiate class by name.

See also

symbol_by_name().

celery.utils.memoize(maxsize=None, keyfun=None, Cache=<class 'kombu.utils.functional.LRUCache'>)[source]¶: Decorator to cache function return value.

celery.utils.nodename(name, hostname)[source]¶: Create node name from name/hostname pair.

celery.utils.nodesplit(name)[source]¶: Split node name into tuple of name/hostname.

celery.utils.noop(*args, **kwargs)[source]¶

No operation.

Takes any arguments/keyword arguments and does nothing.

celery.utils.uuid(_uuid=<function uuid4>)[source]¶: Generate unique id in UUID4 format.

See also

For now this is provided by uuid.uuid4().

celery.utils.worker_direct(hostname)[source]¶

Return the kombu.Queue being a direct route to a worker.

Parameters:: hostname (str, Queue) – The fully qualified node name of a worker (e.g., w1@example.com). If passed a kombu.Queue instance it will simply return that instead.
