Asynchronous instance methods using django-rq

Question

I need a way to dispatch instance methods asynchronously using django-rq. I tried this:

MyClass(object):

 @job
 def my_func(self, some_arg):
   # Do some stuff

Which fails on an AttributeError because the the function is not available in the module level namespace.

Anyone know a good way to solve this, without writing a pass through function at the module level that instantiates the object and then calls the method? That's what I've been doing but it seems so crufty.

Answer 1

Easiest way is to make your method synchronous and call it in asynchronous function.

MyClass(object):
    def my_method(self, some_arg):
        # Do some stuff

@job
def my_function(instance, some_arg):
    instance.my_method(some_arg)
