Re: how to use celery

[David Burke]

Also to start the services:

./manage.py celeryd
./manage.py celery beat -S djcelery.schedulers.DatabaseScheduler

On production you would want these on a init script

You can even work with it in /admin/djcelery/ to schedule tasks.

All cronjobs should be converted to this.

You have a asynchronous task (calculate GPA - but do other stuff while that happens) Maybe now your report is now multithreaded and thus faster? 

You have scheduled tasks and you don't want to edit crontab (which you don't!)

git pull

apt-get install python2.7-dev rabbitmq-server

pip install django-celery

ensure djcelery is in install_apps

Cool. Celery definitely seems like the way to go. These should be of interest:
