How to install django-celery in windows (python, django, celery, erlang, rabbitmq)

A project of mine goes through a realistic simulation that doesn't take too long (15 seconds), but that, unfortunately is about 15 seconds too long. So I had to find a workaround for it. Threads was the first thing that came to mind, but Python is worthless for this....

Anyhow, let's get straight to the point:

***************************************
Install erlang

Install RabbitMQ

See: http://www.rabbitmq.com/install-windows.html

pip install kombu

pip install celery

pip install django-celery

the above commands might cause errors for sub-installation of kombu and billiard. If this occurs:

install MinGQ

in the directory for billiard (ex: C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\build\billiard)

run: setup.py install build --compiler=mingw32

See: http://blog.eddsn.com/2010/05/unable-to-find-vcvarsall-bat/

then rerun:

pip install kombu

pip install celery

pip install django-celery

then update settings.py according to following link and run SyncDB:
