django-fallthrough-cache 0.1.0

A Django cache backend with fallthrough

# django-fallthrough-cache

An implementation of Django's cache backend interface that allows you to put a
fast cache (e.g. `LocMemCache`) in front of a slower one (e.g. `PyLibMCCache`).

## Usage

The configuration below sets up 3 caches: 'locmem', 'memcache', and
'fallthrough'. The fallthrough cache will look up values in the local memory
cache, and on cache misses it will fall through to memcache.

```python
CACHES = {
'locmem': {
'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.locmem.LocMemCache',
'LOCATION': 'local-memory',
'TIMEOUT': 60,
'VERSION': 1
},
'memcache': {
'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.memcached.PyLibMCCache',
'LOCATION': os.environ['MEMCACHE_HOST'],
'TIMEOUT': None,
'OPTIONS': {
'connect_timeout': 1000,
'receive_timeout': 1000000,
'send_timeout': 1000000,
'dead_timeout': 5,
},
'VERSION': 1
},
'fallthrough': {
'BACKEND': 'fallthrough_cache.FallthroughCache',
'OPTIONS': {
'cache_names': ['locmem', 'memcache']
}
}
}
```
