Django Background Tasks

Important

This is a fork of the orignal fork in order to add the missing migrations folder so we don't have to run makemigrations when ref this library.

Release library

In order to publish the library to pypi simply run the following commands:

Upload package to Test Pypi

python setup.py register -r pypitest

This will attempt to register your package against PyPI's test server, just to make sure you've set up everything correctly.

Then run:

python setup.py sdist upload -r pypitest

You should get no errors, and should also now be able to see your library in the test PyPI repository.

Upload package to Pypi

Once you've successfully uploaded to PyPI Test, perform the same steps but point to the live PyPI server instead. To register, run:

python setup.py register -r pypi

Then, run:

python setup.py sdist upload -r pypi

and you're done!

Original Documentation

Django Background Task is a databased-backed work queue for Django, loosely based around Ruby's DelayedJob library. This project was adopted and adapted from lilspikey django-background-task.

To avoid conflicts on PyPI we renamed it to django-background-tasks (plural). For an easy upgrade from django-background-task to django-background-tasks, the internal module structure were left untouched.

In Django Background Task, all tasks are implemented as functions (or any other callable).

There are two parts to using background tasks:
