What is Django Q and how can I use it?

Django Q is a task queue for Django that allows you to run background tasks asynchronously. You can use it to handle long-running processes without blocking your web application.

How do I install Django Q in my project?

You can install Django Q using pip. Just run pip install django-q in your terminal, and then add 'django_q' to your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py.

Can you give me an example of how to create a task?

Sure! You can create a task by defining a function and then using django_q.tasks.schedule to schedule it. For example:

from django_q.tasks import schedule

def my_task():
    print('Task is running!')

schedule('my_app.my_task', schedule_type='I', minutes=1)

What are the benefits of using Django Q over other task queues?

Django Q is tightly integrated with Django, making it easy to use with Django models and ORM. It also supports multiple brokers and has a simple API.
