python2-celery Subpackage of python-celery

An open source asynchronous task queue/job queue based on distributed message passing. It is focused on real-time operation, but supports scheduling as well. The execution units, called tasks, are executed concurrently on one or more worker nodes using multiprocessing, Eventlet or gevent. Tasks can execute asynchronously (in the background) or synchronously (wait until ready). Celery is used in production systems to process millions of tasks a day. Celery is written in Python, but the protocol can be implemented in any language. It can also operate with other languages using web hooks. The recommended message broker is RabbitMQ, but limited support for Redis, Beanstalk, MongoDB, CouchDB and databases (using SQLAlchemy or the Django ORM) is also available.
