Redis Django Cache Backend

A simple Redis cache backend for Django.

Notes

This cache backend requires the redis-py Python client library for communicating with the Redis server.

Redis writes to disk asynchronously so there is a slight chance of losing some data, but for most purposes this is acceptable.

Usage

1. Run python setup.py install to install, or place redis_cache on your Python path.

2. Modify your Django settings to use redis_cache :

   CACHE_BACKEND = 'redis_cache.cache://<host>:<port>'
