This repository contains an example code which shows the integration between Flask, Socket.IO and Celery. The application is made in Flask where a counting task, representing a lengthy task, is performed by the celery worker. To update the client with the status of the task, Flask-SocketIO (by Miguel Grinberg) is used in the application to communicate with the celery task and report to the client.
