Celery raises ValueError: not enough values to unpack

Question

Trying to run simple example with Celery and receiving an exception. RabbitMQ started in a Docker, also tried to start it locally. Celery works on a local Windows host

Answer 1

I got this error on Windows 7 32bit system. So I did this to make it work.

Add this

`os.environ.setdefault('FORKED_BY_MULTIPROCESSING', '1')` 

before defining a celery instance in myproj/settings.py file in your django project.

It should like like

os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'myproj.settings')
os.environ.setdefault('FORKED_BY_MULTIPROCESSING', '1')

app = Celery('tasks', broker='redis://127.0.0.1:6379/0')

I am using redis as a messaging broker so defined broker='redis://127.0.0.1:6379/0'
