using class methods as celery tasks
Celery has experimental support for using methods as tasks since version 3.0.
The documentation for this is in celery.contrib.methods, and also mentions some caveats you should be aware of:
https://docs.celeryproject.org/en/3.1/reference/celery.contrib.methods.html
Be aware: support for contrib.methods removed from Celery since 4.0
Jeremy Satterfield has a clean and straight forward tutorial to write class based tasks if that's what you want to accomplish. You can check it here.
The magic is basically extending celery.Task class including a run() method, like something like this:
from celery import Taskclass CustomTask(Task): ignore_result = True def __init__(self, arg): self.arg = arg def run(self): do_something_with_arg(self.arg)and then run the task like this:
your_arg = 3custom_task = CustomTask()custom_task.delay(your_arg)I am not sure if ignore_result = True part is necessary or not.
