uWSGI Django cache backend.

uWSGI Django cache backend.

• Free software: BSD 2-Clause License

Installation

pip install django-uwsgi-cache and change settings to:

CACHES = {
    'default': {
        'BACKEND': 'uwsgicache.UWSGICache',

        # and optionally, if you use a different cache name
        'LOCATION': 'foobar'
    }
}

Requirements

• Django 4.2 or later.

• Python 3.9 or later.

Settings

UWSGI_CACHE_FALLBACK

• False - raises Exception if uwsgi cannot be imported.

• True (default) - if uwsgi is not importable this cache backend will alias to LocMemCache. Note that mangement commands might try to load the cache backend so this is why it’s the default.
