This simple Django utility allows you to utilize the
12factor inspired
CACHE_URL
environment variable to configure your Django application.
This was built with inspiration from rdegges' django-heroku-memcacheify as a way to use CACHE_URL in apps that aren't necessarily hosted on Heroku.
The internals borrow heavily from kennethreitz's dj-database-url.
Configure your cache in settings.py
from CACHE_URL
:
CACHES = {'default': django_cache_url.config()}
Defaults to local memory cache if CACHE_URL
isn't set.
Parse an arbitrary Cache URL:
CACHES = {'default': django_cache_url.parse('memcache://...')}
Support currently exists for:
- locmem (default):
'locmem://[location][/location]'
- db:
'db://cache_table[/prefix]'
- dummy:
'dummy://'
- file:
'file:///path/to/file'
- memcached:
'memcached://127.0.0.1:11211[/prefix]
- pymemcached:
'pymemcached://127.0.0.1:11211[/prefix]
For use with the python-memcached library. Useful if you're using Ubuntu <= 10.04. - djangopylibmc:
'djangopylibmc://127.0.0.1:11211[/prefix]
For use with SASL based setups such as Heroku.
Installation is simple too:
$ pip install django-cache-url
I haz them!
To run the tests install nose:
pip install nose
Then run them with:
make test
