Celery could not start worker processes when using scrapy-Djangoitem

Question detail: https://github.com/celery/celery/issues/3598

I want to run a scrapy spider with celery, which contain Djangoitems.

this is my celery task:

# coding_task.py
import sys

from celery import Celery
from collector.collector.crawl_agent import crawl

app = Celery('coding.net', backend='redis', broker='redis://localhost:6379/0')
app.config_from_object('celery_config')


@app.task
def period_task():
    crawl()

collector.collector.crawl_agent.crawl contains a scrapy crawler who uses djangoitem as item. the item like:

import django

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'RaPo3.settings'
django.setup()

from scrapy_djangoitem import DjangoItem
from xxx.models import Collection


class CodingItem(DjangoItem):
    django_model = Collection
    amount = scrapy.Field(default=0)
    role = scrapy.Field()
    type = scrapy.Field()
    duration = scrapy.Field()
    detail = scrapy.Field()
    extra = scrapy.Field()

when run: celery -A coding_task worker --loglevel=info --concurrency=1, it wil get some errors below:

[2016-11-16 17:33:41,934: ERROR/Worker-1] Process Worker-1

WorkerLostError: Could not start worker processes

if i delete djangoitem in item:

from scrapy.item import Item
class CodingItem(item):
    amount = scrapy.Field(default=0)
    role = scrapy.Field()
    type = scrapy.Field()
    duration = scrapy.Field()
    detail = scrapy.Field()
    extra = scrapy.Field()

the task will play well and doesn't have any error. What should i do if i want to use djangoitem in this celery-scrapy task?

Thanks!
