Celery is a great tool to run asynchronous tasks. It handles situations where you don't want to lock web requests with time consuming operations or when you want things to happen after some time or even in specific date/time in the future.

Imagine the situation where our application has events (scheduled tasks, appointments, python conferences across the world) happening in different moments of time. Almost anything with a date attached to it.

For those who are starting to code and wish to make open source, sometimes it is hard to start. The idea of contributing with that fancy and wonderful lib that you love can sound a little bit scary. Lucky for us many of those libs have room for whoever is willing to start.

Here at Vinta we believe that programmers, not processes, nor code, are the most important assets on software engineering. Due to that, we believe in using every tool available in order to facilitate our programmers' lives.

While programming is about, in some way, doing code to transform data, metaprogramming can be seen as the task of doing code to change code. This category is often used to help programmers to enhance the readability and maintainability of the code.

Integrating with external services is painful. At Vinta, we build and deal with both public and private APIs on the daily basis. Having worked in many of those projects I can safely tell that we are currently in hell when it comes to integrations.

When developing applications that have specific needs for running asynchronous tasks outside the web application, it is common to adopt a task queue such as Celery. This allows, for example, for the server to start an asynchronous task for heavyweight processing, and then return an answer.

This blog entry has two main goals. The first one is to help you understand what is function composition. In the second goal, we will deal with two of the best Python modules: operator and functools.
