What are people's experience with Celery?
I thought I had a good use case for Celery but I found myself struggling and getting nowhere with it after several hours even to get a basic setup working. I eventually went back to using Cron jobs. Has anyone else got a basic example of a simple working project with Django using Celery? I had a devil of a time getting even a very simple example to work with it apparently not being able to find my celery.py file or complain about circular imports. I say apparently because it doesn't show errors to that effect but it appears not to execute that file. I am just after a basic minimal getting started example. I spent hours on this and got nowhere.
Are people still using Celery for new projects or something else?
