Warning

THIS PROJECT IS NO LONGER REQUIRED

Please follow the new tutorial at:

http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/django/first-steps-with-django.html

django-celery provides Celery integration for Django; Using the Django ORM and cache backend for storing results, autodiscovery of task modules for applications listed in INSTALLED_APPS, and more.

Using django-celery¶

To enable django-celery for your project you need to add djcelery to INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS += ("djcelery", )

then add the following lines to your settings.py:

import djcelery
djcelery.setup_loader()

Everything works the same as described in the Celery User Manual, except you need to invoke the programs through manage.py:

Program	Replace with
`celery`	`python manage.py celery`
`celery worker`	`python manage.py celery worker`
`celery beat`	`python manage.py celery beat`
`celery ...`	`python manage.py celery ...`

The other main difference is that configuration values are stored in your Django projects’ settings.py module rather than in celeryconfig.py.

If you’re trying celery for the first time you should start by reading Getting started with django-celery

Special note for mod_wsgi users¶

If you’re using mod_wsgi to deploy your Django application you need to include the following in your .wsgi module:

import djcelery
djcelery.setup_loader()

Documentation¶

The Celery User Manual contains user guides, tutorials and an API reference. Also the django-celery documentation, contains information about the Django integration.
