In development, it's a bit of a hassle to run the celeryd as well as the Django development server. Is it possible to, for example, ask celery to run tasks synchronously during development? Or something similar?

Yes you can do this by setting CELERY_TASK_ALWAYS_EAGER = True in your settings.
(Constant was previously called CELERY_ALWAYS_EAGER) http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/userguide/configuration.html#task-execution-settings
