Django, ImportError: cannot import name Celery

Question

Why is this happening?
My celery.py:

import os
from celery import Celery
from django.conf import settings

# set the default Django settings module for the 'celery' program.
os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'myshop.settings')

app = Celery('myshop')

app.config_from_object('django.conf:settings')
app.autodiscover_tasks(lambda: settings.INSTALLED_APPS)

my init .py

# import celery
from .celery import app as celery_app

I even tried renaming celery.py to something else and the error still persisted. Could it be because of my python version?

Answer 1

I`ll post answer in order to move it from comments.

First of all in your __ init__.py file add this line

from __future__ import absolute_import, unicode_literals

Second of all you need to add to your settings, information about brooker. This is an example configuration file to get you started. It should contain all you need to run a basic Celery set-up.

Broker settings.

broker_url = 'amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672//'

The next thing is running your celery worker. So if you celery app is named myshop you have to run celery worker (using your environment), by typing this simple command:

celery -A myshop worker -l info

Then try to run your task, and everything should be fine.
