Celery Django not Registering Tasks, Module not found error in shell

Question

I am trying to run a basic example from the Celery docs, but when I run 'from tasks import add' it gives me an error saying the 'module is not found'.

These are the files I have changed.

proj/proj/celery.py

from __future__ import absolute_import

import os

from celery import Celery

# set the default Django settings module for the 'celery' program.
os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'proj.settings')

from django.conf import settings

app = Celery('proj')

# Using a string here means the worker will not have to
# pickle the object when using Windows.
app.config_from_object('django.conf:settings')
app.autodiscover_tasks(lambda: settings.INSTALLED_APPS)


@app.task(bind=True)
def debug_task(self):
    print('Request: {0!r}'.format(self.request))

proj/proj/settings.py

BROKER_URL = 'amqp://guest:guest@localhost//'

#: Only add pickle to this list if your broker is secured
#: from unwanted access (see userguide/security.html)
CELERY_ACCEPT_CONTENT = ['json']
CELERY_TASK_SERIALIZER = 'json'
CELERY_RESULT_SERIALIZER = 'json'


INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'celerymod',
    'djcelery',
)

proj/proj/init.py

from __future__ import absolute_import
from .celery import app as celery_app

proj/celerymod/tasks.py

from __future__ import absolute_import

from celery import shared_task


@shared_task
def add(x, y):
    return x + y


@shared_task
def mul(x, y):
    return x * y


@shared_task
def xsum(numbers):
    return sum(numbers)

Appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!

If anyone else have the same issue. Do this in shell. myapp is the name of the application, in my case it is proj.

from myapp.tasks import add
