Trouble Getting Result From Celery Queue

I have been playing with Celery on Windows 7. Right now, I am going through the Next Steps tutorial: http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/getting-started/next-steps.html I crea

Solution 1:

Turns out this is a windows issue. For the sake of honesty, I should say I got the answer from here: Celery 'Getting Started' not able to retrieve results; always pending

Basically, pass the worker the --pool=solo flag:

> C:\Python27\Scripts\celery.exe -A messaging.tasks worker --loglevel=info --pool=solo

I'm unsure what the pool implementation controls though.
