Flask Framework Cookbook - Second Edition

Getting ready

Celery can be installed simply from PyPI:

$ pip install celery 

To make Celery work with Flask, we will need to modify our Flask app config file a bit. Here, we will use Redis as the broker (thanks to its simplicity).

Make sure that you run the Redis server for the connection to happen. To install and run a Redis server, refer to http://redis.io/topics/quickstart.

We will use the application from the previous recipe and implement Celery in the same manner.
