Celery support for Flask without breaking PyCharm inspections.

Project description

Even though the Flask documentation says Celery extensions are unnecessary now, I found that I still need an extension to properly use Celery in large Flask applications. Specifically I need an init_app() method to initialize Celery after I instantiate it.

This extension also comes with a single_instance method.

  • Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, and 3.4 supported on Linux and OS X.

  • Python 2.7, 3.3, and 3.4 supported on Windows (both 32 and 64 bit versions of Python).

Single instance decorator inspired by Ryan Roemer.

Supported Platforms

  • OSX and Linux.

  • Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4

  • Flask 0.10.1

  • Redis 2.9.1

  • Celery 3.1.11

Quickstart

Install:

pip install Flask-Celery-Helper

Example:

# example.py
from flask import Flask
from flask.ext.celery import Celery

app = Flask('example')
app.config['CELERY_BROKER_URL'] = 'redis://localhost'
app.config['CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND'] = 'redis://localhost'
celery = Celery(app)

@celery.task()
def add_together(a, b):
    return a + b

if __name__ == '__main__':
    result = add_together.delay(23, 42)
    print(result.get())

Run these two commands in separate terminals:

celery -A example.celery worker
python example.py

Factory Example

# extensions.py
from flask.ext.celery import Celery

celery = Celery()
# application.py
from flask import Flask
from extensions import celery

def create_app():
    app = Flask(__name__)
    app.config['CELERY_IMPORTS'] = ('tasks.add_together', )
    app.config['CELERY_BROKER_URL'] = 'redis://localhost'
    app.config['CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND'] = 'redis://localhost'
    celery.init_app(app)
    return app
# tasks.py
from extensions import celery

@celery.task()
def add_together(a, b):
    return a + b
# manage.py
from application import create_app

app = create_app()
app.run()

Single Instance Example

# example.py
import time
from flask import Flask
from flask.ext.celery import Celery, single_instance
from flask.ext.redis import Redis

app = Flask('example')
app.config['REDIS_URL'] = 'redis://localhost'
app.config['CELERY_BROKER_URL'] = 'redis://localhost'
app.config['CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND'] = 'redis://localhost'
celery = Celery(app)
Redis(app)

@celery.task(bind=True)
@single_instance
def sleep_one_second(a, b):
    time.sleep(1)
    return a + b

if __name__ == '__main__':
    task1 = sleep_one_second.delay(23, 42)
    time.sleep(0.1)
    task2 = sleep_one_second.delay(20, 40)
    results1 = task1.get(propagate=False)
    results2 = task2.get(propagate=False)
    print(results1)  # 65
    if isinstance(results2, Exception) and str(results2) == 'Failed to acquire lock.':
        print('Another instance is already running.')
    else:
        print(results2)  # Should not happen.
