The process for awaiting results of a celery task in Django involves the following steps:

  1. Define a task using Celery in your Django project.

  2. Call the task asynchronously using the apply_async method, passing any necessary arguments.

  3. Retrieve the task ID using the id attribute of the returned AsyncResult object.

  4. Use the get method of the same AsyncResult object to block execution until the task has completed and the result is available.

Example code:

from celery import shared_task
from celery.result import AsyncResult

@shared_task
def long_running_task(args):
    # Do some long-running operation
    return result

result_id = long_running_task.apply_async(args).id
result = AsyncResult(result_id).get()

In this example, the longrunningtask function is defined as a Celery task and is called asynchronously with the applyasync method, passing any required arguments. The task ID is retrieved using the id attribute of the AsyncResult object returned by applyasync.

The get method is then called on the same AsyncResult object to block execution until the task has completed, at which point the result is returned as the value of the result variable.
