<title>Error: cannot import name 'celery' from 'celery'</title>
</head>
<div>
<h2>Explanation</h2>
<p>This error is encountered when attempting to import the 'celery' module from the 'celery' package, but the import fails.</p>
<p>There can be several reasons behind this error. Let's take a look at some possible explanations and examples:</p>
<h3>1. Incorrect import statement</h3>
<p>Check if the import statement is correct and matches the actual package and module names.</p>
<pre>
import celery
</pre>
<h3>2. Incorrect package or module installation</h3>
<p>Ensure that the 'celery' package and module are properly installed. If not, you can install the package using a package manager such as pip.</p>
<pre>
pip install celery
</pre>
<h3>3. Circular imports</h3>
<p>Circular imports occur when two or more modules depend on each other. It can lead to import errors, including the 'cannot import name' error.</p>
<p>To avoid circular imports, make sure to restructure your code and remove any unnecessary dependencies between modules.</p>
<h3>4. Version mismatch</h3>
<p>There might be a version mismatch between the 'celery' package and the imported module. Ensure that both are compatible with each other.</p>
<p>For example, if you have both 'celery' and 'celery-4' packages installed, there can be conflicts. Make sure to uninstall any conflicting versions.</p>
<h2>Example</h2>
<p>Here's an example of how to import 'celery' correctly:</p>
<pre>
from celery import Celery
app = Celery('myapp', broker='amqp://guest@localhost//')
</pre>
<p>Make sure to adjust the import statement and the 'broker' URL according to your specific use case.</p>
