Hello,
I am not quite sure if this is the right mailinglist but as long as my
remarks are about a core-component of django I hopefully chose the right
list.
Dealing with cache-stuff in Django I realized that it seems to be
impossible to use a timeout=0 (which in terms of memcached meant that
the item would never expire unless it has to make way for new items due
to memory shortage). This is because even still in the most current
trunk-version the timeout is calculated (in
django.core.backends.memcached.CacheClass._get_memcache_timeout) as
timeout = timeout or self.default_timeout
where timeout is one of the parameters given to _get_memcache_timeout.
So as long as timeout=0 always the default_timeout will be used.
Maybe this behaviour is intended to prevent memcached being filled up
with items that never expire.
In my opinion it may be better to enable developers to use the
timeout-values as intended by memcached (where 0 means no expiration at
all).
So I would like to suggest to change the default value in all method
signatures of the memcached.CacheClass (and whereever it whould be
necessary) from 0 to None and to replace the line above by an if-clause as
if timeout is None:
timeout = self.default_timeout
This is not as elegant as the original version but now it would be
possible to use 0 as a timeout.
If it would help I can try to open a ticket and provide a first path
against the current trunk.
With best regards
Carsten Reimer
