Developing with Django+Celery without running `celeryd`?

Question

In development, it's a bit of a hassle to run the celeryd as well as the Django development server. Is it possible to, for example, ask celery to run tasks synchronously during development? Or something similar?

Answer 1

Yes you can do this by setting CELERY_ALWAYS_EAGER = True in your settings.
