Error while running celery worker : ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mysite'

Question

I was using celery and rabbitmq to send email to the user who has logged in. However when I am running my celery worker I am getting :

My project name is myproject and the appname is app

celery -A myproject worker -l info

On running celery I am getting error

settings.py

CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND = 'django-db'
CELERY_CACHE_BACKEND = 'django-cache'
CELERY_BROKER_URL = 'amqp://hpoddar:password@IPADDRESS/vhostcheck'

__init__.py

from .celery import app as celery_app

__all__ = ('celery_app',)

Inside my app app I have tasks.py which is sending mail

import time
from celery import shared_task
from django.core.mail import send_mail


@shared_task
def send_email_task(email):
    "background task to send an email asynchronously"
    subject = 'Hello from Celery'
    message = 'This is a test email sent asynchronously with Celery.'
    time.sleep(1)
    return send_mail(
        subject,
        message,
        '[email protected]',
        [email],
        fail_silently=False
    )

The error was in my celery.py file present inside the project myproject folder. My project name was myproject but I was reading configuration from mysite.settings. Corrected the same and its working now

import os
from celery import Celery

os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'myproject.settings')

app = Celery('myproject')

app.config_from_object('django.conf:settings', namespace='CELERY')

# Load task modules from all registered Django apps.
app.autodiscover_tasks()
