        <h2>Distributed Task Queue</h2>
        <p> Celery is an asynchronous task queue/job queue based on distributed message passing.
        It is focused on real-time operation, but supports scheduling as well.</p>

        <p>The execution units, called tasks, are executed concurrently on a single or
        more worker servers. Tasks can execute asynchronously (in the background) or synchronously
        (wait until ready).</p>

        <p>Celery is already used in production to process millions of tasks a day.</p>

        <p>Celery is written in Python, but the protocol can be implemented in any
        language.
        It can also <a href="http://celeryq.org/docs/userguide/remote-tasks.html"
        >operate with other languages</a> using webhooks.</p>

        <p>The recommended message broker is <a href="http://rabbitmq.com/">RabbitMQ</a>,
        but support for <a href="http://redisdb.com/">Redis</a> and databases
        is also available.</p>

        Celery is easy to integrate with Django, Pylons and Flask, using
        the <a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-celery">django-celery</a>,
        <a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/celery-pylons">celery-pylons</a>
        and <a href="http://github.com/ask/flask-celery">flask-celery</a>add-on packages.

        <h3>Example</h3>
        <p>This is a simple task adding two numbers:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">celery.task</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">task</span>

<span class="nd">@task</span>
<span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">add</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">x</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">y</span><span class="p">):</span>
    <span class="k">return</span> <span class="n">x</span> <span class="o">+</span> <span class="n">y</span>
</pre></div>

        <p>You can execute the task in the background, or wait for it to
        finish:</p>

<div class="highlight"><pre><span class="o">&gt;&gt;&gt;</span> <span class="n">result</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">add</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">delay</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">8</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="mi">8</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="o">&gt;&gt;&gt;</span> <span class="n">result</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">wait</span><span class="p">()</span> <span class="c"># wait for and return the result</span>
<span class="mi">16</span>
</pre></div>
