This module is the main entry-point for the Celery API. It includes commonly needed things for calling tasks, and creating Celery applications.
:class:`Celery` | Celery application instance |
:class:`group` | group tasks together |
:class:`chain` | chain tasks together |
:class:`chord` | chords enable callbacks for groups |
:func:`signature` | create a new task signature |
:class:`Signature` | object describing a task invocation |
:data:`current_app` | proxy to the current application instance |
:data:`current_task` | proxy to the currently executing task |
:class:`Celery` application objects
