+Before executing a task
+"""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+The ``django_q.signals.pre_execute`` signal is emitted before a task is
+executed by a worker. This signal provides two arguments:
+
+- ``task``: the task dictionary.
+- ``func``: the actual function that will be executed. If the task was created
+  with a function path, this argument will be the callable function
+  nonetheless.
+
+Subscribing to a signal
+-----------------------
+
+Connecting to a Django Q signal is done in the same manner as any other Django
+signal::
+
+    from django.dispatch import receiver
+    from django_q.signals import pre_enqueue, pre_execute
+
