Why can't it find my celery config file?

Question

/home/myuser/mysite-env/lib/python2.6/site-packages/celery/loaders/default.py:53: NotConfigured: No celeryconfig.py module found! Please make sure it exists and is available to Python.
NotConfigured)

I even defined it in my /etc/profile and also in my virtual environment's "activate". But it's not reading it.

Now in Celery 4.1 you can solve that problem by that code(the easiest way):

import celeryconfig  from celery import Celery  app = Celery() app.config_from_object(celeryconfig) 

For Example small celeryconfig.py :

BROKER_URL = 'pyamqp://' CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND = 'redis://localhost' CELERY_ROUTES = {'task_name': {'queue': 'queue_name_for_task'}} 

---

Also very simple way:

from celery import Celery  app = Celery('tasks')  app.conf.update(     result_expires=60,     task_acks_late=True,     broker_url='pyamqp://',     result_backend='redis://localhost' ) 

---

Or Using a configuration class/object:

from celery import Celery  app = Celery()  class Config:     enable_utc = True     timezone = 'Europe/London'  app.config_from_object(Config) # or using the fully qualified name of the object: #   app.config_from_object('module:Config') 

---

Or how was mentioned by setting CELERY_CONFIG_MODULE

import os from celery import Celery  #: Set default configuration module name os.environ.setdefault('CELERY_CONFIG_MODULE', 'celeryconfig')  app = Celery() app.config_from_envvar('CELERY_CONFIG_MODULE')
