django-uwsgi-cache

Packaging of code from http://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/WebCaching.html with some small changes.

Installation

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

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

or for Django older than 1.3:

CACHE_BACKEND = "uwsgicache://" # a unix or tcp socket address, leave empty to use local uwsgi

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 south or other mangement commands might try to load the cache backend so this is why it's the default.
