from __future__ import absolute_import
import os,sys,
from celery import Celery
from django.conf import settings

sys.path.append('/prod/project/')
sys.path.append('/prod/')

os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'config.settings')
os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_CONFIGURATION', 'Local')

app = Celery('myapp.celery.celery')
app.config_from_object('django.conf:settings')
app.autodiscover_tasks(settings.INSTALLED_APPS, related_name='tasks')

Any ideas ?

According to http://django-configurations.readthedocs.org/en/latest/cookbook/#celery you may need to add in your celery.py:

os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_CONFIGURATION', 'Local')

from configurations import importer
importer.install()

app = Celery('myapp.celery.celery')
