How do I configure Celery for my Django project?

To configure Celery in your Django project, first install Celery using pip. Then, create a new file named 'celery.py' in your project directory.

What should I include in the 'celery.py' file?

In 'celery.py', you need to set up the Celery instance and configure the broker. Here's a basic example:

from celery import Celery
import os

os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'your_project.settings')

app = Celery('your_project')
app.config_from_object('django.conf:settings', namespace='CELERY')
app.autodiscover_tasks()

How do I set the broker URL?

You can set the broker URL in your Django settings file like this:

CELERY_BROKER_URL = 'redis://localhost:6379/0'

Make sure you have Redis installed and running.

Can you give me an example of a simple task?

Sure! Here's a simple task example:

from celery import shared_task

@shared_task
def add(x, y):
    return x + y
