Question

I have a weird problem, I successful installed celery, but I can’t import its modules:

>>> import celery   # OK

>>> import djcelery

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/django_celery-2.5.5-py2.7.egg/djcelery/__init__.py", line    25, in <module>
from celery import current_app as celery  # noqa
ImportError: cannot import name current_app

>>> from celery.decorators import task

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named decorators

this error occurs on celery 2.6.0a3 (from github) or 2.5.3 (from pypi) and django-celery 2.5.5. Tried re-installing several times, and even tried in Jython and I got the same error.

I have no clue what it is, can anyone help me out?

Answer 1

well cloned the project (celery) from github, and a python setup.py install resolved. Weird that it couldn’t import its modules when installed via pip in my machine (even when /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/celery/decorators.py task was there).

Hope it helps someone.
