Django-RQ

Build Status

Django integration with RQ, a Redis based Python queuing library. Django-RQ is a simple app that allows you to configure your queues in django's settings.py and easily use them in your project.

Requirements

Installation

pip install django-rq
  • Add django_rq to INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
    # other apps
    "django_rq",
)
  • Configure your queues in django's settings.py (syntax based on Django's database config):
RQ_QUEUES = {
    'default': {
        'HOST': 'localhost',
        'PORT': 6379,
        'DB': 0,
        'PASSWORD': 'some-password',
        'DEFAULT_TIMEOUT': 360,
    },
    'high': {
        'URL': os.getenv('REDISTOGO_URL', 'redis://localhost:6379/0'), # If you're on Heroku
        'DEFAULT_TIMEOUT': 500,
    },
    'low': {
        'HOST': 'localhost',
        'PORT': 6379,
        'DB': 0,
    }
}

RQ_EXCEPTION_HANDLERS = ['path.to.my.handler'] # If you need custom exception handlers
  • Include django_rq.urls in your urls.py:
urlpatterns += patterns('',
    url(r'^django-rq/', include('django_rq.urls')),
)

Usage

Putting jobs in the queue

Django-RQ allows you to easily put jobs into any of the queues defined in settings.py. It comes with a few utility functions:

  • enqueue - push a job to the default queue:
import django_rq
django_rq.enqueue(func, foo, bar=baz)
  • get_queue - accepts a single queue name argument (defaults to "default") and returns an RQ Queue instance for you to queue jobs into:
import django_rq
queue = django_rq.get_queue('high')
queue.enqueue(func, foo, bar=baz)
  • get_connection - accepts a single queue name argument (defaults to "default") and returns a connection to the queue's Redis server:
import django_rq
redis_conn = django_rq.get_connection('high')
  • get_worker - accepts optional queue names and returns a new RQ Worker instance for specified queues (or default queue):
import django_rq
worker = django_rq.get_worker() # Returns a worker for "default" queue
worker.work()
worker = django_rq.get_worker('low', 'high') # Returns a worker for "low" and "high"

@job decorator

To easily turn a callable into an RQ task, you can also use the @job decorator that comes with django_rq:

from django_rq import job

@job
def long_running_func():
    pass
long_running_func.delay() # Enqueue function in "default" queue

@job('high')
def long_running_func():
    pass
long_running_func.delay() # Enqueue function in "high" queue

Running workers

django_rq provides a management command that starts a worker for every queue specified as arguments:

python manage.py rqworker high default low

If you want to run rqworker in burst mode, you can pass in the --burst flag:

python manage.py rqworker high default low --burst

If you need to use a custom worker class, you can pass in the --worker-class flag with the path to your worker:

python manage.py rqworker high default low --worker-class 'path.to.GeventWorker'

If you need to use a custom queue class, you can pass in the --queue-class flag with the path to your queue class:

python manage.py rqworker high default low --queue-class 'path.to.CustomQueue'

Support for RQ Scheduler

If you have RQ Scheduler installed, you can also use the get_scheduler function to return a Scheduler instance for queues defined in settings.py's RQ_QUEUES. For example:

import django_rq
scheduler = django_rq.get_scheduler('default')
job = scheduler.enqueue_at(datetime(2020, 10, 10), func)

You can use also use the management command rqscheduler to start the scheduler:

python manage.py rqscheduler

Support for django-redis and django-redis-cache

If you have django-redis or django-redis-cache installed, you can instruct django_rq to use the same connection information from your Redis cache. This has two advantages: it's DRY and it takes advantage of any optimization that may be going on in your cache setup (like using connection pooling or Hiredis.)

To use configure it, use a dict with the key USE_REDIS_CACHE pointing to the name of the desired cache in your RQ_QUEUES dict. It goes without saying that the chosen cache must exist and use the Redis backend. See your respective Redis cache package docs for configuration instructions. It's also important to point out that since the django-redis-cache ShardedClient splits the cache over multiple Redis connections, it does not work.

Here is an example settings fragment for django-redis:

CACHES = {
    'redis-cache': {
        'BACKEND': 'redis_cache.cache.RedisCache',
        'LOCATION': 'localhost:6379:1',
        'OPTIONS': {
            'CLIENT_CLASS': 'django_redis.client.DefaultClient',
            'MAX_ENTRIES': 5000,
        },
    },
}

RQ_QUEUES = {
    'high': {
        'USE_REDIS_CACHE': 'redis-cache',
    },
    'low': {
        'USE_REDIS_CACHE': 'redis-cache',
    },
}

Queue statistics

django_rq also provides a dashboard to monitor the status of your queues at /django-rq/ (or whatever URL you set in your urls.py during installation.

You can also add a link to this dashboard link in /admin by adding RQ_SHOW_ADMIN_LINK = True in settings.py. Be careful though, this will override the default admin template so it may interfere with other apps that modifies the default admin template.

Configuring Logging

Starting from version 0.3.3, RQ uses Python's logging, this means you can easily configure rqworker's logging mechanism in django's settings.py. For example:

LOGGING = {
    "version": 1,
    "disable_existing_loggers": False,
    "formatters": {
        "rq_console": {
            "format": "%(asctime)s %(message)s",
            "datefmt": "%H:%M:%S",
        },
    },
    "handlers": {
        "rq_console": {
            "level": "DEBUG",
            "class": "rq.utils.ColorizingStreamHandler",
            "formatter": "rq_console",
            "exclude": ["%(asctime)s"],
        },
        # If you use sentry for logging
        'sentry': {
            'level': 'ERROR',
            'class': 'raven.contrib.django.handlers.SentryHandler',
        },
    },
    'loggers': {
        "rq.worker": {
            "handlers": ["rq_console", "sentry"],
            "level": "DEBUG"
        },
    }
}

Note: error logging to Sentry is known to be unreliable with RQ when using async transports (the default transport). Please configure Raven to use

sync+https:// or requests+https:// transport in settings.py:

For more info, refer to Raven's documentation.

Custom queue classes

By default, every queue will use DjangoRQ class. If you want to use a custom queue class, you can do so by adding a QUEUE_CLASS option on a per queue basis in RQ_QUEUES:

RQ_QUEUES = {
    'default': {
        'HOST': 'localhost',
        'PORT': 6379,
        'DB': 0,
        'QUEUE_CLASS': 'module.path.CustomClass',
    }
}

or you can specify DjangoRQ to use a custom class for all your queues in RQ settings:

RQ = {
    'QUEUE_CLASS': 'module.path.CustomClass',
}

Custom queue classes should inherit from django_rq.queues.DjangoRQ.

Testing tip

For an easier testing process, you can run a worker synchronously this way:

from django.test import TestCase
from django_rq import get_worker

class MyTest(TestCase):
    def test_something_that_creates_jobs(self):
        ...                      # Stuff that init jobs.
        get_worker().work(burst=True)  # Processes all jobs then stop.
        ...                      # Asserts that the job stuff is done.

Synchronous mode

You can set the option ASYNC to False to make synchronous operation the default for a given queue. This will cause jobs to execute immediately and on the same thread as they are dispatched, which is useful for testing and debugging. For example, you might add the following after you queue configuration in your settings file:

# ... Logic to set DEBUG and TESTING settings to True or False ...

# ... Regular RQ_QUEUES setup code ...

if DEBUG or TESTING:
    for queueConfig in RQ_QUEUES.itervalues():
        queueConfig['ASYNC'] = False

Note that setting the async parameter explicitly when calling get_queue will override this setting.

Running Tests

To run django_rq's test suite:

`which django-admin.py` test django_rq --settings=django_rq.test_settings --pythonpath=.

Deploying on Heroku

Add django-rq to your requirements.txt file with:

pip freeze > requirements.txt

Update your Procfile to:

web: gunicorn --pythonpath="$PWD/your_app_name" config.wsgi:application

worker: python your_app_name/manage.py rqworker high default low

Commit and re-deploy. Then add your new worker with:

heroku scale worker=1

Django Suit Integration

You can use django-suit-rq to make your admin fit in with the django-suit styles.
