Flask Huey Example

This is an implementation of Miguel Grinberg's article Using Celery With Flask with Huey replacing Celery.

Example 1

Sending Asynchronous Emails

Assume the following:

Virtual environment is called flask-huey-example and is located at d:/Paul/.virtualenv/flask-huey-example

Project is located at D:/Paul/Documents/GitHub/flask-huey-example

Ensure the requirements are installed into the virtual environment.

Step 1 - SMTP Server

Open a command window, change to the project directory, activate the environment and start up the dummy SMTP Server.

cd /d d:/Paul/Documents/GitHub/flask-huey-example

d:/Paul/.virtualenv/flask-huey-example/Scripts/activate.bat

(flask-huey-example) python run_smtp_server.py

Step 2 - Huey Consumer

Open a second command window, change to the project directory, activate the environment and start up the Huey task consumer.

cd /d d:/Paul/Documents/GitHub/flask-huey-example
d:/Paul/.virtualenv/flask-huey-example/Scripts/activate.bat

(flask-huey-example) set HUEY_APP_SETTINGS=app.config.DevelopmentConfig
(flask-huey-example) python d:\Paul\.virtualenv\flask-huey-example\Scripts\huey_consumer.py run_huey.huey

Step 3 - Flask Server

Open a third command window, change to the project directory, activate the environment and start up the Flask server.

cd /d d:/Paul/Documents/GitHub/flask-huey-example
d:/Paul/.virtualenv/flask-huey-example/Scripts/activate.bat

(flask-huey-example) set APP_SETTINGS=app.config.DevelopmentConfig
(flask-huey-example) python run_app.py

Step 4

Navigate to http://localhost:6060 in your browser, click link to Example 1 and then click the Send button.
