DjangoBot: #celery

is it possible to schedule a task for a specific time, instead of a timedelta?

I'm having some issues with celery...

itsbth@itsbth-laptop ~/gmluadoc/taskqueue $ python run.py

Starting 2834 tasks

It exits immediatly after that

No errors

Running the task using task.delay works fine

where does complete come from?

Good question

I originally used ready()

Hm...

Nevermind, I'm an idiot

Had a typo

is apply_async and delay the same thing?

ed1t: yes, but different args supported

from the api docs

classmethod Task.delay(*args, **kwargs)

Shortcut to apply_async(), with star arguments, but doesn’t support the extra options.

so if I wanted to use the countdown arg, i could use delay ?

ed1t: nope

then you need to use apply_async :(

so then with apply_async can I pass my own parameters too?

sure! use args=[], kwargs={}

so .delay(*args, **kwargs) is exactly the same as .apply_async(args=args, kwargs=kwargs)

or more exactly

@classmethod

def delay(self, *args, **kwargs):

return self.apply_async(args, kwargs)

brb

if I want to "chain" the tasks i.e. when the task is done executing, i want to reschedule the task with coutdown 60

i want the task to run every 60 seconds, but I dont want to run periodTask, because I would like to change the countdown on the fly

is it recommended to call re-schedule from that same method?
