jmcvetta/django-cacheops

This system is a Django caching library that provides automatic cache invalidation for database queries and template fragments. It integrates with Redis and supports file-based caching, offering decorators and template tags to manage cache states. The system also includes management commands for cache invalidation and cleanup, ensuring consistency across various Django model relationships.

Adds Jinja2 template tags (\\{% cached %}\\ and \\{% cached\_as %}\\) for caching template fragments, integrating with the existing \\@cached\_as\\ decorator. The Redis client is now wrapped in a \\SafeRedis\\ class that degrades gracefully on connection failures, controlled by the new \\CACHEOPS\_DEGRADE\_ON\_FAILURE\\ setting. Additionally, the \\dnf\\ function now supports \\isnull\\ lookups and uses \\attname\\ for better field resolution, while the \\@cacheoped\_method\\ and \\@cacheoped\_as\\ decorators are renamed to \\@cached\_method\\ and \\@cached\_as\\ respectively.

The project is being initialized with version 0.9.8, establishing the core package structure, dependencies (Django, Redis, simplejson), and standard repository metadata files. This includes the addition of a BSD license, an AUTHORS file, a CHANGELOG, a MANIFEST for packaging, and a .gitignore configuration. The release also introduces a Python benchmarking script (bench.py) for performance testing and a test runner (run\_tests.py) that supports the -x (failfast) argument.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

The 'invalidate' management command now supports invalidating auto-created models by passing 'all' or specific app/model identifiers, and uses a new 'invalidate\_all' function instead of directly flushing the Redis database. Additionally, a new 'cleanfilecache' command has been added to remove old files from the file-based cache directory.

cacheops/management · high confidence

Added a comprehensive test suite in the \tests\ directory to verify cache invalidation behavior. The new tests cover invalidation triggers for foreign keys, one-to-one fields, boolean fields, and many-to-many relationships. It also includes tests for proxy models and multi-table inheritance, ensuring that cache invalidation works correctly across these different model configurations.
