pylint-celery is a Pylint plugin to aid Pylint in recognising and understandingerrors caused when using the Celery library
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No, unless you are maintaining a legacy Celery codebase with an old Pylint version. The package is abandoned (last release 2014, no active maintenance), has high install friction (source-only), and offers no Python version specification—making it risky on modern Python. Modern Celery and Pylint versions may have resolved the underlying false positives, or the plugin may not work at all. Verify compatibility with your exact versions before attempting installation.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Pylint to be installed separately; Python version compatibility unspecified and untested against modern versions.
- High install friction due to source distribution only (no wheel).
- Package is abandoned—last release was 2014-09-25, last commit 2022-11-12.

What it is and what it does
pylint-celery is a Pylint plugin designed to enhance static code analysis when working with the Celery distributed task queue library. It addresses a known limitation where Pylint incorrectly flags Celery code patterns as errors, most notably the false positive that 'celery.task' is not callable. The plugin integrates directly into Pylint's analysis pipeline and can also be used through the Prospector code quality tool.
The package has been unmaintained since 2014 and has no runtime dependencies of its own—it works by extending Pylint's behavior. Installation requires building from source (high friction), and Python version compatibility is unspecified. For teams actively using Celery with Pylint, it may reduce noise in analysis, but the age of the codebase and lack of maintenance create risk around compatibility with modern Python and Celery versions.
Use it for
- Reduce false-positive Pylint warnings when analyzing Celery task definitions and decorators.
- Integrate Celery-aware linting into a Prospector code quality pipeline.
- Suppress 'celery.task is not callable' errors in legacy Celery projects using older Pylint versions.
