app file structure

[SummerSeaSun]

I've already worked with django, sorry if this is a silly question.

This is the usual file structure:

project:
mydata_app
manage.py

I should add the tasks to a file called tasks.py?
It should be inside mydata_app or in the projects directory?

the call for the tasks can be placed in the views.py?

Hi @summer88,
I recommend placing all your tasks related to a app in a file named tasks.py
example:

project:
    my_app/
        tasks.py

   my_other_app/
        tasks.py

   manage.py

The location you where you call a tasks is depend on where you want the task to go to the background.
Nice examples of this are available in the documentation.

Django Q does not enforce a location for your task. It can be any function inside your environment.
As long as it's importable, you can run it as a task. However it is always good practice to keep things together in once place.

You can use imports:

from my_app import somefunction

async(somefunction, somearguments)

or full paths:

async('my_app.somefunction', somearguments)

both do the same thing.

Thanks for the explanation, I will try it out asap!
