ImportError: No module named timeutils

Question

I'm trying to follow the install tutorial for Django-celery. After installing, I need to run migrate to make the necessary tables, but this error appears:

Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named timeutils

I'm not finding anything about this "timeutils" on the Internet... I'm using Django 1.9.8 and Django-celery 3.1.17.

Please help!

Answer 1

It appears that django-celery==3.1.17 does not work with newer versions of celery (see this github issue).

If it is acceptable to you to use an earlier version of celery, you can uninstall your current version, install a specific older version, and django-celery should work again. For example:

$ pip uninstall celery
$ pip install celery==3.1

should get things working again until django-celery supports a newer version of celery.
