Celery Working Limitations Updates

[Muhammad Shariq Shafiq]

Hello Dear Django Team 

Last month, I tried to do some task of django which primarily based on scheduling of accessibility with time and role based authnetications

I used celery for that scheduling but failed and for 2 days i tried for it by changing my code logic and urls but all in vain

Then i read from google that django has no longer support of celery for windows user. Which is not a good for developers

We have to make things easy for developers to captivate the ideas into reality without any limitatoons. 

My suggestion and request to you to make celery working again on windows so that the developers can use it effeciently and produces more productivity

Regards

I think you're misinterpreting what you're reading from your search results.

This is a Celery issue, not a Django issue.

Quoting from the Celery docs at https://docs.celeryq.dev/en/stable/faq.html#does-celery-support-windows

Does Celery support Windows?

Answer: No.

Since Celery 4.x, Windows is no longer supported due to lack of resources.

But it may still work and we are happy to accept patches.

I agree with Ken, that this a Celery issue, not a Django one.

But while we're here, as far as I know Celery still runs fine on windows. It is not officially supported, and the default pool no longer works, but if you run celery with --pool=solo (in development) or --pool=gevent (in production) it should run without problems. You might run into issues, as the Celery developers highlight, but I would expect that for a relatively normal use case it might be fine.

There is also the upcoming background worker support to consider if it suits your use case: https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2024/may/29/django-enhancement-proposal-14-background-workers/

Ok Ken thank you for clarifying I think that blog and research would be misleading. Sorry for saying all that.

I love Django as it's my core tech stack
