How can I prioritize tasks in Django with Celery?

You can prioritize tasks in Django with Celery by using task queues and setting task priorities. You can define different queues for different priority levels.

Can you show me an example of how to set this up?

Sure! First, you need to define your tasks and assign them to different queues. For example:

from celery import shared_task

@shared_task(queue='high_priority')
def high_priority_task():
    # Your task code here

@shared_task(queue='low_priority')
def low_priority_task():
    # Your task code here

Then, you can start your worker with the specific queues.

What if I want to dynamically change the priority of a task?

You can achieve that by using the apply_async method and specifying the queue dynamically based on your logic. For example:

if condition:
    high_priority_task.apply_async()
else:
    low_priority_task.apply_async()
