Tasks
=====
Use :py:func:`async` from your code to quickly offload tasks to the py:module:`cluster`:
.. code:: python
from django_q import async, result
# create the task
async('math.copysign', 2, -2)
# or with import and storing the id
import math.copysign
task_id = async(copysign, 2, -2)
# get the result
task_result = result(task_id)
# result returns None if the task has not been executed yet
# so in most cases you will want to use a hook:
async('math.modf', 2.5, hook='hooks.print_result')
# hooks.py
def print_result(task):
print(task.result)
.. py:function:: async(func, *args, hook=None, **kwargs)
Puts a task in the cluster queue
