Celery versus djcelery

Question

I am confused between the differences between these two applications while trying to setup celery on my django project.

What are the differences between the two if any? When reading tutorials online I see them both used, and i'm not sure which would be best for me. It appears that djcelery is kinda like celery but tailored for django? But celery doesn't need to be included in intalled apps while djcelery does.

Thank you

Answer 1

Django-celery was a project that provided Celery integration for django, but it is no longer required.

You don't have to install django-celery anymore. Since version 3.1 django is supported out of the box.

So to install celery you can use pip:

pip install -U Celery

This is a note from Celery First Steps with Django Tutorial

Note:

Previous versions of Celery required a separate library to work with Django, but since 3.1 this is no longer the case. Django is supported out of the box now so this document only contains a basic way to integrate Celery and Django. You will use the same API as non-Django users so it’s recommended that you read the First Steps with Celery tutorial first and come back to this tutorial. When you have a working example you can continue to the Next Steps guide.
