Celery - Programmatically list workers

Question

How can I programmatically, using Python code, list current workers and their corresponding celery.worker.consumer.Consumer instances?

Answer 1

You can use celery.control.inspect to inspect the running workers:

>>> import celery
>>> celery.current_app.control.inspect().ping()
 {u'celery@host': {u'ok': u'pong'}}
