        What is a Task Queue?
        =====================
        
        Task queues are used as a mechanism to distribute work across threads or
        machines.
        
        A task queue's input is a unit of work, called a task, dedicated worker
        processes then constantly monitor the queue for new work to perform.
        
        Celery communicates via messages using a broker
        to mediate between clients and workers.  To initiate a task a client puts a
        message on the queue, the broker then delivers the message to a worker.
        
        A Celery system can consist of multiple workers and brokers, giving way
        to high availability and horizontal scaling.
        
        Celery is written in Python, but the protocol can be implemented in any
        language.  So far there's RCelery_ for the Ruby programming language, and a
        `PHP client`, but language interoperability can also be achieved
        by using webhooks.

        What do I need?
        ===============
        
        Celery version 3.0 runs on,
        
        - Python (2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 3.2, 3.3)
        - PyPy (1.8, 1.9)
        - Jython (2.5, 2.7).
        
        This is the last version to support Python 2.5,
        and from Celery 3.1, Python 2.6 or later is required.
        The last version to support Python 2.4 was Celery series 2.2.
        
        *Celery* requires a message broker to send and receive messages.
        The RabbitMQ, Redis and MongoDB broker transports are feature complete,
        but there's also support for a myriad of other solutions, including
        using SQLite for local development.
        
        *Celery* can run on a single machine, on multiple machines, or even
        across datacenters.
        
        Get Started
        ===========
        
        If this is the first time you're trying to use Celery, or you are
        new to Celery 3.0 coming from previous versions then you should read our
        getting started tutorials:
        
        - `First steps with Celery`_
        
            Tutorial teaching you the bare minimum needed to get started with Celery.
        
        - `Next steps`_
        
            A more complete overview, showing more features.

        Celery is...
        ============
        
        - **Simple**
        
            Celery is easy to use and maintain, and does *not need configuration files*.
        
            It has an active, friendly community you can talk to for support,
            including a `mailing-list`_ and and an IRC channel.
        
            Here's one of the simplest applications you can make::
        
                from celery import Celery
        
                celery = Celery('hello', broker='amqp://guest@localhost//')
        
                @celery.task
                def hello():
                    return 'hello world'
        
        - **Highly Available**
        
            Workers and clients will automatically retry in the event
            of connection loss or failure, and some brokers support
            HA in way of *Master/Master* or *Master/Slave* replication.
        
        - **Fast**
        
            A single Celery process can process millions of tasks a minute,
            with sub-millisecond round-trip latency (using RabbitMQ,
            py-librabbitmq, and optimized settings).
        
        - **Flexible**
        
            Almost every part of *Celery* can be extended or used on its own,
            Custom pool implementations, serializers, compression schemes, logging,
            schedulers, consumers, producers, autoscalers, broker transports and much more.
        
        It supports...
        ==============
        
            - **Brokers**
        
                - RabbitMQ_, Redis_,
                - MongoDB_, Beanstalk_,
                - CouchDB_, SQLAlchemy_,
                - Django ORM, Amazon SQS,
                - and more...
        
            - **Concurrency**
        
                - multiprocessing, Eventlet_, gevent_, threads/single threaded
        
            - **Result Stores**
        
                - AMQP, Redis
                - memcached, MongoDB
                - SQLAlchemy, Django ORM
                - Apache Cassandra
        
            - **Serialization**
        
                - *pickle*, *json*, *yaml*, *msgpack*.
                - *zlib*, *bzip2* compression.
                - Cryptographic message signing.

        Framework Integration
        =====================
        
        Celery is easy to integrate with web frameworks, some of which even have
        integration packages:
        
            +--------------------+------------------------+
            | `Django`_          | `django-celery`_       |
            +--------------------+------------------------+
            | `Pyramid`_         | `pyramid_celery`_      |
            +--------------------+------------------------+
            | `Pylons`_          | `celery-pylons`_       |
            +--------------------+------------------------+
            | `Flask`_           | not needed             |
            +--------------------+------------------------+
            | `web2py`_          | `web2py-celery`_       |
            +--------------------+------------------------+
            | `Tornado`_         | `tornado-celery`_      |
            +--------------------+------------------------+
        
        The integration packages are not strictly necessary, but they can make
        development easier, and sometimes they add important hooks like closing
        database connections at ``fork``.

        You can install Celery either via the Python Package Index (PyPI)
        or from source.
        
        To install using `pip`,::
        
            $ pip install -U Celery

        .. _bundles:
        
        Bundles
        -------
        
        Celery also defines a group of bundles that can be used
        to install Celery and the dependencies for a given feature.
        
        The following bundles are available:
        
        :`celery-with-redis`_:
            for using Redis as a broker.
        
        :`celery-with-mongodb`_:
            for using MongoDB as a broker.
        
        :`django-celery-with-redis`_:
            for Django, and using Redis as a broker.
        
        :`django-celery-with-mongodb`_:
            for Django, and using MongoDB as a broker.
        
        .. _`celery-with-redis`:

        .. _celery-installing-from-source:
        
        Downloading and installing from source
        --------------------------------------
        
        Download the latest version of Celery from
        http://pypi.python.org/pypi/celery/
        
        You can install it by doing the following,::
        
            $ tar xvfz celery-0.0.0.tar.gz
            $ cd celery-0.0.0
            $ python setup.py build
            # python setup.py install
        
        The last command must be executed as a privileged user if
        you are not currently using a virtualenv.
        
        .. _celery-installing-from-git:
        
        Using the development version
        -----------------------------
        
        You can clone the repository by doing the following::
        
            $ git clone https://github.com/celery/celery
            $ cd celery
            $ python setup.py develop
        
        The development version will usually also depend on the development
        version of `kombu`_, the messaging framework Celery uses
        to send and receive messages, so you should also install that from git::
        
            $ git clone https://github.com/celery/kombu
            $ cd kombu
            $ python setup.py develop
