Python3 support

[kmmbvnr]

I tried to run the tests on python 3

I used python3 port of python memcached - https://github.com/eguven/python3-memcached

And fixed config construction at https://github.com/RentMethod/celerytest/blob/master/celerytest/__init__.py#L6

(summing for dictionaries no longer works under python3)

But even after that nosetests script just hands and do nothing.

Thanks for trying this on Python 3, hadn't tried that myself yet. If it hangs, the worker thread likely doesn't ever receive the tasks, or the results aren't sent back to the caller. It could mean the memcached isn't shared between the threads. Or it could mean the configuration doesn't load properly and it's using processes instead of threads? Does it work using the AMQP transport?

I've referenced a commit that just includes the necessary changes for python3 compatibility. I also experience the hang (like described by @kmmbvnr) but I'm using the memory backend.

The execution hangs on worker.ready.wait() in start_celery_worker(). The odd thing is that when I just skip the wait (using a timeout of 1) I still get a running worker: My test-cases are working so there must by some worker doing those tasks.

Any suggestions on why that might happen?

python3.3/site-packages/celery/concurrency/threads.py", line 31, in __init__ 'The threaded pool requires the threadpool module.') ImportError: The threaded pool requires the threadpool module.

I get the following error from celery. But it seems that the last version of threadpool was released 2009 and is not python3 compatible.

I've created a python3 version of threadpool on https://github.com/torotil/threadpool and a python3 compatible version of celerytest on https://github.com/torotil/celerytest .
