Error running celeryd
- by Eric Palakovich Carr
I'm posting this question (and answer) so if anybody else has this problem in the future, you'll be able to google it.
If you are trying to run celeryd in Django like so:
python manage.py celeryd
You can receive the following error immediately after it has started:
celery@eric-desktop-dev has started.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "manage.py", line 11, in <module>
execute_manager(settings)

self.write_long(len(s))
TypeError: object of type 'NoneType' has no len()
A rather cryptic error message, with no real clue as to where to go to fix the problem. See below for the answer so you don't waste a bunch of time on this error like I did today :)
