celery 3.0 causes import error (cannot import abbrtools from celery.utils)

[guzru]

Release of celery 3.0 causes an import error at runtime upon any request.

This is the stack trace:

ImportError: cannot import name abbrtask

Requirements line for celery should become:

celery>=2.5.3,<3.0.0

Are you going to do a release with this? ATM a fresh pip install sentry is totally borked.

[faulkner]

Until that happens pip install sentry "celery<3.0" should work as a workaround.

I have the same error. Downgrading celery helped.

@dcramer, is there a reason django-celery is pinned at <3.0? Looks like this can also be fixed by bumping django-celery to 3.0.1 or higher, which removes the need to pin celery itself.
