celery.contrib.rdb

Remote debugger for Celery tasks running in multiprocessing pool workers. Inspired by http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/7248

Usage

from celery.contrib import rdb
from celery.decorators import task

@task
def add(x, y):
    result = x + y
    rdb.set_trace()
    return result

Environment Variables

CELERY_RDB_HOST

Hostname to bind to. Default is ‘127.0.01’, which means the socket will only be accessible from the local host.

CELERY_RDB_PORT

Base port to bind to. Default is 6899. The debugger will try to find an available port starting from the base port. The selected port will be logged by celeryd.
