Answer 1

Celery uses celery file for storing configuration of your app, you can't just give a python file with tasks and start celery. You should define celery file ( for Celery>3.0; previously it was celeryconfig.py)..

celeryd --app app.celery -l info

This example how to start celery with config file at app/celery.py

Here is example of celery file: https://github.com/Kami/libcloud-sandbox/blob/master/celeryconfig.py
