A simple Redis cache backend for Django.

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.

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>'

3. (Optional) To suppress cache errors, so that warnings are generated instead, add the query string :

   ?fail_silently=1

   so the CACHE_BACKEND url looks like so :

   CACHE_BACKEND = 'redis_cache.cache://<host>:<port>?fail_silently=1'
