Description:
 def ensure_self(func):
 """ Decorator that can be used to ensure 'self' is the first argument on a task method. This only needs to be used with task methods that are used as a callback to a chord or in link_error and is really just a hack to get around https://github.com/celery/celery/issues/2137 Usage: .. code-block:: python class Foo(models.Model):
 def __init__(self):
 self.bar = 1 @task def first(self):
 pass @task @ensure_self def last(self, results=None):
 print self.bar Then the following is performed: .. code-block:: python f = Foo() (f.first.s() | f.last.s(this=f)).apply_async() # prints 1 The important part here is that 'this' is passed into the last.s subtask. Hopefully issue 2137 is recognized as an issue and fixed and this hack is no longer required. """
