This document describes the current stable version of Celery (4.2). For development docs, go here.

celery.events.event

Creating events, and event exchange definition.

celery.events.event.Event(type, _fields=None, __dict__=<class 'dict'>, __now__=<built-in function time>, **fields)

Create an event.

Notes

An event is simply a dictionary: the only required field is type. A timestamp field will be set to the current time if not provided.

celery.events.event.event_exchange = <unbound Exchange celeryev(topic)>

Exchange used to send events on. Note: Use get_exchange() instead, as the type of exchange will vary depending on the broker connection.

celery.events.event.get_exchange(conn)

Get exchange used for sending events.

Parameters:conn (kombu.Connection) – Connection used for sending/receving events.

Note

The event type changes if Redis is used as the transport (from topic -> fanout).

celery.events.event.group_from(type)

Get the group part of an event type name.

Example

>>> group_from('task-sent')
'task'

>>> group_from('custom-my-event')
'custom'
