  48. <h2>Distributed Task Queue</h2>
  49. <p> Celery is an asynchronous task queue/job queue based on distributed message passing.
  50. It is focused on real-time operation, but supports scheduling as well.</p>
  51. <p>The execution units, called tasks, are executed concurrently on a single or
  52. more worker servers. Tasks can execute asynchronously (in the background) or synchronously
  53. (wait until ready).</p>
  54. <p>Celery is already used in production to process millions of tasks a day.</p>
  55. <p>Celery is written in Python, but the protocol can be implemented in any
  56. language.
  57. It can also <a href="http://celeryq.org/docs/userguide/remote-tasks.html"
  58. >operate with other languages</a> using webhooks.</p>
  59. <p>The recommended message broker is <a href="http://rabbitmq.com/">RabbitMQ</a>,
  60. but support for <a href="http://redisdb.com/">Redis</a> and databases
  61. is also available.</p>
  62. Celery is easy to integrate with Django, Pylons and Flask, using
  63. the <a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-celery">django-celery</a>,
  64. <a href="http://bitbucket.org/ianschenck/celery-pylons">celery-pylons</a>
  65. and <a href="http://github.com/ask/flask-celery">flask-celery</a>add-on packages.
  66. <h3>Example</h3>
  67. <p>This is a simple task adding two numbers:</p>
  68. <div class="highlight"><pre><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">celery.decorators</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">task</span>
  69. <span class="nd">@task</span>
  70. <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>
  71. <span class="k">return</span> <span class="n">x</span> <span class="o">+</span> <span class="n">y</span>
  72. </pre></div>
  73. <p>You can execute the task in the background, or wait for it to
  74. finish:</p>
  75. <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>
  76. <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>
  77. <span class="mi">16</span>
  78. </pre></div>
  79. <h3>Getting Started</h3>
  80. <ol>
  81. <li>Install celery by download or <code>pip install -U celery</code></li>
  82. <li>Set up <a href="http://celeryq.org/docs/getting-started/broker-installation.html">RabbitMQ</a>
  83. or one of the <a href="http://celeryq.org/docs/tutorials/otherqueues.html">ghetto queue</a>
  84. solutions.
