Getting around uwsgidecorators import failure issues when using uwsgi spooler functionality.

uwsgidecorators.py

try:
    # This module is only available when running under uwsgi
    # in production. We try to import it, but if it fails we're
    # running in development and should just pass a decorator that'll
    # run it back immediately.
    from uwsgidecorators import spool
except:
    def spool(fn):
        def _spool(**kwargs):
            return fn(kwargs)
        fn.spool = _spool
        return fn

If you use uwsgi, you can make use of the spooler functionality to avoid having to do the usual Celery+[workers/etc] setup. There's one annoying piece that's not well documented around the internet, which is that if you're using the @spool decorator/methods, and you're not running in uwsgi (like a development server) you'll have everything blow up as uwsgi injects the package for you under ordinary circumstances. This patches it so that, if you're not under uwsgi, it'll just auto-execute the spooler method. Works perfectly for me in development.
