==============================================================
 Example Django project using Celery
==============================================================

Contents
========

``proj/``
---------

This is the project iself, created using
``django-admin.py startproject proj``, and then the settings module
(``proj/settings.py``) was modified to add ``demoapp`` to
``INSTALLED_APPS``

``proj/celery.py``
----------

This module contains the Celery application instance for this project,
we take configuration from Django settings and use ``autodiscover_tasks`` to
find task modules inside all packages listed in ``INSTALLED_APPS``.

``demoapp/``
------------

Example generic app.  This is decoupled from the rest of the project by using
the ``@shared_task`` decorator.  This decorator returns a proxy that always
points to the currently active Celery instance.


Starting the worker
===================

.. code-block:: bash

    $ celery -A proj worker -l info
