Why can't it find my celery config file?

Now in Celery 4.1 you can solve that problem by that code(the easiest way):

import celeryconfigfrom celery import Celeryapp = Celery()app.config_from_object(celeryconfig)

For Example small celeryconfig.py :

BROKER_URL = 'pyamqp://'CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND = 'redis://localhost'CELERY_ROUTES = {'task_name': {'queue': 'queue_name_for_task'}}

Also very simple way:

from celery import Celeryapp = Celery('tasks')app.conf.update(    result_expires=60,    task_acks_late=True,    broker_url='pyamqp://',    result_backend='redis://localhost')

Or Using a configuration class/object:

from celery import Celeryapp = Celery()class Config:    enable_utc = True    timezone = 'Europe/London'app.config_from_object(Config)# or using the fully qualified name of the object:#   app.config_from_object('module:Config')

Or how was mentioned by setting CELERY_CONFIG_MODULE

import osfrom celery import Celery#: Set default configuration module nameos.environ.setdefault('CELERY_CONFIG_MODULE', 'celeryconfig')app = Celery()app.config_from_envvar('CELERY_CONFIG_MODULE')

Also see:

• Create config: http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/userguide/application.html#configuration
• Configuration fields: http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/userguide/configuration.html

I had a similar problem with my tasks module. A simple

# celery config is in a non-standard locationimport osos.environ['CELERY_CONFIG_MODULE'] = 'mypackage.celeryconfig'

in my package's __init__.py solved this problem.

Make sure you have celeryconfig.py in the same location you are running 'celeryd' or otherwise make sure its is available on the Python path.
