Python – django- celery : TypeError: can only concatenate tuple (not “NoneType”) to tuple

I recently started using Rabbitmq and Celery with Django. I’m using django-celery, django-celery-email, and the post office to send email asynchronously.
After installing all these packages, my settings.py looks like this

INSTALLED_APPS = [
#other apps
'djcelery',
'djcelery_email',
'post_office'
]

# setup celery
import djcelery
djcelery.setup_loader()

# using post office as the default email backend 
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'post_office. EmailBackend'
# using djcelery's email backend as a backend for post office 

POST_OFFICE_BACKEND = 'djcelery_email.backends.CeleryEmailBackend'

POST_OFFICE = {
    'DEFAULT_PRIORITY' : 'now'
}

EMAIL_HOST = 'YOUR_HOST_NAME'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = "YOUR_HOST_USER_NAME"
EMAIL_PORT = 25  # default smtp port
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = "YOUR_HOST_USER_PASSWORD"
EMAIL_USE_TLS = False
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = '[email protected]'

When I try to run django-celery via command

**python manage.py celeryd**

The following error is being passed

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "manage.py", line 22, in <module>

TypeError: can only concatenate tuple (not "NoneType") to tuple

Someone here helped me with this

Just comment out these lines in “~/anaconda2/envs/test_django/lib/python3.6/site-packages/djcelery/management/commands/celery.py”, as shown below

 14     #    options = (CeleryCommand.options +
 15     #           base.get_options() +
 16     #           base.preload_options)

And then that’s it.
