RQ: Using with Django	patterns

Using RQ with Django

The simplest way of using RQ with Django is to use django-rq. Follow the instructions in the README.

Manually

In order to use RQ together with Django, you have to start the worker in a "Django context". Possibly, you have to write a custom Django management command to do so. In many cases, however, setting the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environmental variable will already do the trick.

If settings.py is your Django settings file (as it is by default), use this:

{% highlight console %} $ DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=settings rq worker high default low {% endhighlight %}
