Django, ImportError: cannot import name Celery, possible circular import?

Question

I went through this example here:

http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/django/first-steps-with-django.html

All my tasks are in files called tasks.py.

Answer 1

Note that older Django projects have the manage.py script in the same directory as the project directory. That is, the structure looks like this:

- proj/
  - proj/__init__.py
  - proj/celery.py
  - proj/urls.py
  - proj/manage.py
  - proj/settings.py

instead of this:

- proj/
  - proj/__init__.py
  - proj/celery.py
  - proj/settings.py
  - proj/urls.py
- manage.py

In this case, you will just have to rename the celery.app file to something different, like celeryapp.py as suggested in the accepted answer above.
