django standalone script: cannot import name 'Celery' from 'celery' - django

Question

I am trying to run a standalone Django scipt
import os, sys, django
proj_path = "/path/to/django-project"
import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace()
# This is so Django knows where to find stuff.
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "boiler.settings")
sys.path.append(proj_path)
django.setup()
When i run It says
ImportError: cannot import name 'Celery' from 'celery' (/path/to/django-poject/boiler/celery.py)
My folder structure:
django-poject
-- boiler
-- __init__.py
-- settings.py
-- celery.py
-- manage.py
__init__.py
from .celery import app as celery_app
__all__ = ['celery_app']
celery.py
import os
from celery import Celery
import django
import sys
os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'boiler.settings')
#This defines the celery app instance
redis = 'redis://:pass#localhost:6379/0'
app = Celery(dirname,
broker=redis,
backend=redis
)
I am able to run celery using
activate virtualenv
cd to django-poject
celery -A boiler worker --loglevel=debug
without any problems
But in standalone its creating problems

You have to name your celery.py something else. Like django_celery.py otherwise it won't work. Celery works fine without it that way, but you want to integrate in with django and like what Santhosh said, the absolute import of itself is giving you issues.
In your project's __init__.py you'll need something like:
from __future__ import absolute_import, unicode_literals
from your_path_to.django_celery import app as celery_app
__all__ = ('celery_app',)
