Temporary hack. Redis Sentinel support for Celery.

celery_sentinel.py

"""
This module adds Redis Sentinel transport support to Celery.
Current version of celery doesn't support Redis sentinel client, which is must have for automatic failover.

To use it::

    import register_celery_alias
    register_celery_alias("redis-sentinel")

    celery = Celery(..., broker="redis-sentinel://...", backend="redis-sentinel://...")

@Surgo , @reclosedev : We have tried this hack for supporting redis-sentinel in celery ,but it is not working . celery result backend giving error as it is writing on the redis slave . by this hack celery is not able to make client connection through client function overridden in this hack to redis master node .Did any one have tried this before ?? Could you please help on this.

we just open-sourced from @dealertrack a library which adds sentinel support to celery which you can check out at http://celery-redis-sentinel.readthedocs.org/en/latest/. It adds support to both broker and results backend. Any feedback will be appreciated.
