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:

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()
