Requirements
|

............
|
||
|
||
- Django 1.6 or 1.7
|
||
- Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.2, 3.3, or 3.4
|
||
- a cache configured as `default` with one of these backends:
|
||
|
||
- `django-redis <https://github.com/niwibe/django-redis>`_
|
||
- `memcached <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/topics/cache/#memcached>`_
|
||
(using either python-memcached or pylibmc)
|
||
- `filebased <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/topics/cache/#filesystem-caching>`_
|
||
(only with Django >= 1.7 as it was not thread-safe before)
|
||
- `locmem <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/topics/cache/#local-memory-caching>`_
|
||
(but it’s not shared between processes, so don’t use it with RQ or Celery)
|
||
|
||
- PostgreSQL, MySQL or SQLite

|

Dynamic overriding
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
Django-cachalot is built so that its settings can be dynamically changed.
|
||
|
||
For example:
|
||
|
||
.. code:: python
|
||
|
||
from django.conf import settings
|
||
from django.test.utils import override_settings
|
||
|
||
with override_settings(CACHALOT_ENABLED=False):
|
||
# SQL queries are not cached in this block
|
||
|
||
@override_settings(CACHALOT_CACHE='another_alias')
|
||
def your_function():
|
||
# What’s in this function uses another cache
|
||
|
||
# Globally disables SQL caching until you set it back to True
|
||
settings.CACHALOT_ENABLED = False
