Cache Backend

Installation

change settings to:

CACHES = {
    'default': {
        'BACKEND': 'django_uwsgi.cache.UwsgiCache',

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

django-confy

if you’re using django-confy:, you can use url like:

CACHE_URL=uwsgi://foobar

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 management commands might try to load the cache backend so this is why it’s the default.
