I heard about celery and I really like it. But now I'm writing an application with node.js and I have to manage (asynchronous) tasks and I want to use celery to this. I've installed it in my development environment and played around with some python scripts. It all works well but I want to "call" the tasks with node.js. Has anyone tried to do something like this (with any programming language)?

I saw this example, but the base of this HTTP Gateway idea is a django application and I don't want to create a django app to only handle these calls.

I thought about creating a SimpleXMLRPCServer and use the node-xmlrpc module to connect with that. What do you think? There is a better way to do this? Is there another app or service that works natively with node.js?

Thanks in advance.

Celery will force you to inherit a whole Python stack for a simple message queue - seems like a messy pain to me. Check out coffee-resque for a simple and native solution.
