Celery - Get task id for current task

Question

How can I get the task_id value for a task from within the task? Here\'s my code:

from celery.decorators import task
from django.core.cache import cache

@ta         


        

Answer 1

Celery does set some default keyword arguments if the task accepts them. (you can accept them by either using **kwargs, or list them specifically)

@task
def do_job(path, task_id=None):
    cache.set(task_id, operation_results)

The list of default keyword arguments is documented here: http://ask.github.com/celery/userguide/tasks.html#default-keyword-arguments
