I would think you could call the script you wrote using command line arguments. Something like the following:

my_script.py username password

Inside your script, you can have your main function wrapped in an @celery.task or @app.task decorator.

import sys

from celery import Celery

cel = Celery() # put whatever config info you need in here

@celery.task
def main():
    username, password = sys.argv[1], sys.argv[2]

Something like that should get you started. Be sure to also check out Python's argparse for more sophisticated argument parsing.
