Celery ImportError: No module named proj

Question

I'm trying to setup Celery with Django. I have followed the guide:

project/project/celery.py:

from __future__ import absolute_import

import os

from celery import Celery

from django.conf import settings

# set the default Django settings module for the 'celery' program.
os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'project.settings')

app = Celery('proj')

# Using a string here means the worker will not have to
# pickle the object when using Windows.
app.config_from_object('django.conf:settings')
app.autodiscover_tasks(lambda: settings.INSTALLED_APPS)

then in...

project/project/__init__.py:


from __future__ import absolute_import

# This will make sure the app is always imported when
# Django starts so that shared_task will use this app.
from .celery import app as celery_app

project/apps/test/tasks.py

from __future__ import absolute_import

from celery import shared_task


@shared_task
def add(x, y):
    return x + y

Then run:

celery -A proj worker -l info

which gives the error:

  File "/Users/user/Documents/workspace/test-api/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/kombu/utils/__init__.py", line 92, in symbol_by_name
    module = imp(module_name, package=package, **kwargs)
  File "/Users/user/Documents/workspace/test-api/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/celery/utils/imports.py", line 101, in import_from_cwd
    return imp(module, package=package)

    __import__(name)
ImportError: No module named proj

Answer 1

Your project is named project, not proj. You should use that name throughout.
