ModuleNotFoundError: works via Terminal, not by Django

[pymatffm]

I've been using celery for the first time since a couple of weeks already, so I'm pretty fresh to task queueing. The problem I'm currently facing is related to using celery via Django and a ModuleNotFoundErrorerror.

I'm using Django 1.11 und celery 4.2.0. My files are as follows:

celery_tasks.py

from celery import Celery
from celery import task
import os

app = Celery('myapp')                         
#app.config_from_object('myapp.celeryconfig', namespace='CELERY')  # WORKS WHEN CALLED THROUGH VIEW/DJANGO: Tell Celery instance to use celeryconfig module
app.config_from_object('celeryconfig', namespace='CELERY')  # WORKS WHEN CALLED THROUGH TERMINAL

# set the default Django settings module for the 'celery' program.
os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'myapp.celeryconfig')

suf = lambda n: "%d%s" % (n, {1: "st", 2: "nd", 3: "rd"}.get(n if n < 20 else n % 10, "th"))
@app.task(name='celery_tasks.fav_doctor')
def fav_doctor():
    """Reads doctor.txt file and prints out fav doctor, then  addsa new
    number to the file"""

    with open('doctor.txt', 'r+') as f:
        for line in f:
            nums = line.rstrip().split()

            print ('The {} doctor is my favorite'.format(suf(int(nums[0]))))

            for num in nums[1:]:
                print ('Wait! The {} doctor is my favorite'.format(suf(int(num))))

            last_num = int(nums[-1])
            new_last_num = last_num + 1

            f.write(str(new_last_num) + ' ')


@app.task(name='celery_tasks.reverse')
def reverse(string):
    return string[::-1]

@app.task(name='celery_tasks.add')
def add(x, y):
    return x+y


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.start()

celeryconfig.py

from __future__ import absolute_import, unicode_literals
from datetime import timedelta

## List of modules to import when celery starts.
CELERY_IMPORTS = ['celery_tasks',]

## Message Broker (RabbitMQ) settings.
BROKER_URL = 'amqp://'
BROKER_PORT = 5672

## Result store settings.
CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND = 'rpc://' 

## Worker settings

#CELERYD_TASK_TIME_LIMIT = 20
#CELERYD_LOG_FILE = 'celeryd.log'
#CELERYD_LOG_LEVEL = 'INFO'

#CELERY_IGNORE_RESULT = False
CELERY_TASK_SERIALIZER = 'json'
CELERY_RESULT_SERIALIZER = 'json'
CELERY_ACCEPT_CONTENT=['json']
CELERY_TIMEZONE = 'Europe/Berlin'
CELERY_ENABLE_UTC = True

CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE = {
    'doctor-every-10-seconds': {
        'task': 'celery_tasks.fav_doctor',
        'schedule': timedelta(seconds=3),
    },
}

init.py

from .celery_tasks import app as celery_app # Ensures app is always imported when Django starts so that shared_task will use this app.

__all__ = ['celery_app']

--> myapp
-- init.py
-- celery_tasks.py
-- celeryconfig.py
--> views
-- admin_scripts.py

After going into the directory where the celery files are located, and switching to the virtual env, and then type:

celery -A celery_tasks worker -l info

but ONLY with this configuration in my celery_tasks.py file:

#app.config_from_object('myapp.celeryconfig', namespace='CELERY')  # WORKS WHEN CALLED THROUGH VIEW/DJANGO: Tell Celery instance to use celeryconfig module
app.config_from_object('celeryconfig', namespace='CELERY')  # WORKS WHEN CALLED THROUGH TERMINAL

only after I reconfigure the above lines of code, can I use celery via Django, so:

app.config_from_object('myapp.celeryconfig', namespace='CELERY')  # WORKS WHEN CALLED THROUGH VIEW/DJANGO: Tell Celery instance to use celeryconfig module
#app.config_from_object('celeryconfig', namespace='CELERY')  # WORKS WHEN CALLED THROUGH TERMINAL

If I don't do this step, the error message and configure like so without changing midway through i.e.,

#app.config_from_object('myapp.celeryconfig', namespace='CELERY') # WORKS WHEN CALLED THROUGH VIEW/DJANGO: Tell Celery instance to use celeryconfig module
app.config_from_object('celeryconfig', namespace='CELERY') # WORKS WHEN CALLED THROUGH TERMINAL

Then I receive this error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'celeryconfig'

I can't see where exactly I'm going wrong. As a short explanation for my original aim: I'd like to print out in a new window the information retrieved from various tasks, so like a progress bar but instead of a percentage, the output is like what you'd see in Terminal.
Thanks.

it's error in your code not in celery.

[pymatffm]

Please feel free to let me know where the error in my code is?

@pymatffm Did you solve it? I have a same problem
