Django1.4 with Celery: A. Sqlite3 database as broker possible? B. Celery versions necessary to install?

Question

I'm running into all sorts of errors when following the official celery guide for django projects. Before going into more detail of the errors I encountered I would like to be clear on the following issues:

1. Do you only need to install django-celery or do you need to install celery as well? This official guide does not mention you should. I have read guides installing both and other not mentioning installing plain celery at all.
2. I am using sqlite3 as my database in my development environment, can you use an sqlite3 database with celery as a broker? The last person in this thread seems to hint it's not possible.

I am using django1.4 and django-celery 3.0.11

Btw the latest of a series of errors I an into is DatabaseError: no such table: djkombu_queue

Answer 1

1. Running pip install django-celery will install celery as well.

2. I uninstalled south and dropped the table south_migrationhistory. Then reran syncdb and everything worked as in the documentation. I don't know exactly why this was causing an error though. So the answer to the second question is yes, Sqlite3 is able to work as a broker for celery.
