Question

I am confused between the differences between these two applications while trying to setup celery on my django project.

What are the differences between the two if any? When reading tutorials online I see them both used, and i’m not sure which would be best for me. It appears that djcelery is kinda like celery but tailored for django? But celery doesn’t need to be included in intalled apps while djcelery does.

Thank you

When using Django, you should install django-celery from PyPI. Celery will be installed as a dependency.

Djcelery hooks your django project in with Celery, which is a more general tool used with a variety of application stacks.

Here is Celery’s getting started with Django guide, which describes installing django-celery and setting up your first tasks.
