im using redis instead of rabbitmq - have had zero problems so far. great work, this project is awesome

Are you using redis with slaves? When I do that, celery throws errors when trying to add tasks to my redis queue.

what's the error and traceback? (paste at pastie.org or similar)

Preface this by saying that I've been successfully and happily using celery since 0.8, which was over 2 years ago. Since 2.0, it's been rock solid. But then I switched from RabbitMQ to redis and when I added redis slaves, it broke.

Here goes: http://pastie.org/4216467

It's probably due to redis' INFO command giving different values. Now would be a great time to get it sorted out, too.

About your error, seems strange that a simple info command gives that error, maybe you're running an outdated version of redis-py/redis-server?

Latest redis (2.4.15) and using redis-py 2.4.10. Just checked the CHANGELOG for redis-py, which is now at 2.4.13, and voila:

    * 2.4.11
        * Made the INFO command more tolerant of Redis changes formatting. Fix for #217.

Doh! Off by a single patch release. Thanks for the help.

See, folks? Celery is amazing in multiple ways.

no i am not, sorry

Out of curiosity, why do you use Redis instead of RabbitMQ?

because its much easier to configure in my opinion, and i dont really care if messages get lost + i am using it in other parts of my stack so it i decided that instead of bringing in another piece of technology, i would utilize what i already had and keep things less complex
