My first Celery program looks like this - I am pretty much following the getting started instructions:
from celery import Celery
import time
app = Celery(
"celery_test",
broker="redis://",
backend="redis://"
)
@app.task
def greet(who):
print(f"Hello {who}")
@app.task
def add(x, y):
return x + y
@app.task
def long(sleep_time):
time.sleep(sleep_time)
Trying to set the result backend via backend='redis://' results in the following syntax error when calling celery -A celery_test worker --loglevel=info, which looks like a bug in Celery:
[2019-01-21 12:58:59,457: CRITICAL/MainProcess] Unrecoverable error: SyntaxError('invalid syntax', ('/Users/cls/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/celery/backends/redis.py', 22, 19, 'from . import async, base\n'))

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I would like to verify that this is indeed a bug and not an issue with my configuration. Also I'd rather get started with asynchronous programming than with writing bug reports, so a workaround would be appreciated.
