celery: daemonic processes are not allowed to have children

Question

In Python (2.7) I try to create processes (with multiprocessing) in a celery task (celery 3.1.17) but it gives the error:

daemonic processes are not allowed to h         


        

Answer 1

I got a similar Error trying to call a multiprocessing method from a Celery task in django. I solved using billiard instead of multiprocessing

import billiard as multiprocessing

Hope it helps.
