the ground (and vegetables) shift under my feet

While learning up about how to do messaging in a python stack (and it is quite confusing) yesterday - I was reading up about how to use celery (python distributed task manager which is messaging-controlled) and carrot (python message creator) and suddenly realized that the alpha release (while I was reading) of celery 2.2 basically deprecated carrot in favour of kombu, a vegetable I have yet to try.

When you add to the situation the fact that I’m setting up devops using chef… you can imagine some of my web search retrievals are starting to get irrelevant…
