celery.beat

The periodic task scheduler.

celery.beat.EmbeddedService(app, max_interval=None, **kwargs)

Return embedded clock service.

Parameters:

thread (bool) – Run threaded instead of as a separate process. Uses multiprocessing by default, if available.

classcelery.beat.PersistentScheduler(*args, **kwargs)

Scheduler backed by shelve database.

classcelery.beat.ScheduleEntry(name=None, task=None, last_run_at=None, total_run_count=None, schedule=None, args=(), kwargs=None, options=None, relative=False, app=None)

An entry in the scheduler.

Parameters:

• name (str) – see name.

• schedule (schedule) – see schedule.

• args (Tuple) – see args.

• kwargs (Dict) – see kwargs.

• options (Dict) – see options.

• last_run_at (datetime) – see last_run_at.

• total_run_count (int) – see total_run_count.

• relative (bool) – Is the time relative to when the server starts?

args=None

Positional arguments to apply.

default_now()

editable_fields_equal(other)

is_due()

See is_due().

kwargs=None

Keyword arguments to apply.

last_run_at=None

The time and date of when this task was last scheduled.

name=None

The task name

next(last_run_at=None)

Return new instance, with date and count fields updated.

options=None

Task execution options.

schedule=None

The schedule (schedule)

total_run_count=0

Total number of times this task has been scheduled.

update(other)

Update values from another entry.

Will only update “editable” fields:

task, schedule, args, kwargs, options.

classcelery.beat.Scheduler(app, schedule=None, max_interval=None, Producer=None, lazy=False, sync_every_tasks=None, **kwargs)

Scheduler for periodic tasks.

The celery beat program may instantiate this class multiple times for introspection purposes, but then with the lazy argument set. It’s important for subclasses to be idempotent when this argument is set.

Parameters:

• schedule (schedule) – see schedule.

• max_interval (int) – see max_interval.

• lazy (bool) – Don’t set up the schedule.

Executes one due task per call.

Returns:

preferred delay in seconds for next call.

Return type:
