Why does Celery work in Python shell, but not in my Django views? (import problem)

Question

I installed Celery (latest stable version.) I have a directory called /home/myuser/fable/jobs. Inside this directory, I have a file called tasks.py:

Answer 1

I believe your tasks.py file needs to be in a django app (that's registered in settings.py) in order to be imported. Alternatively, you might try importing the tasks from an __init__.py file in your main project or one of the apps.

Also try starting celeryd from manage.py:

$ python manage.py celeryd -E -B -lDEBUG

(-E and -B may or may not be necessary, but that's what I use).
