Celery tasks are executed by different program binaries

I have a Django web application that executes tasks via celery. It is run with a combination of Apache, uWSGI, and Redis. For some reason, one of the tasks is being executed by the uWSGI server and the other is executed by the Python interpreter. This is causing permissions issues as uWSGI doesn't run as the same user as Python does.

What could cause the tasks to be run by different programs? Is there a setting somewhere?

Solution

  • Turns out, I needed to call the task with .delay() to get the Celery deamon to execute the task instead of uWSGI.
