I'm really interested in peoples opinion on Celery vs Others when using Django.

I'm about to hit a point in my pet project where I need something but I havn't chosen my approach yet. I've ehard Pyres is better than Celery.

Once you wrap your head around one (embarrassingly, it took me a while to really understand what celery was doing -- I had an easier time getting comfortable with the multiprocessing library), it shouldn't be difficult to pick up another and compare them locally.

Celery does what it's supposed to; that's about all I can say for it. I'd suggest writing a few simple jobs and testing them in similar environments under as much load as you can. Look for things like consistency of logging and running tasks exactly once across multiple consumers despite the semantics of the queue you pick.
