django-memcached2

django-memcached2 is a lightweight, resuable Django app that displays statistics about your currently running memcached instances.

It is a fork of Eric Florenzano's django-memcached that works with the CACHES settings introduced in Django 1.3.

Installing django-memcached2

1. Either download the tarball and run python setup.py install, or simply use easy_install or pip like so easy_install django-memcached2.

2. Add django_memcached to your INSTALLED_APPS setting:

   INSTALLED_APPS = (
       # ...
       'django_memcached',
   )
   

3. Add the urls to your url configuration:

   urlpatterns = patterns('',
       # ...
       (r'^cache/', include('django_memcached.urls')),
   )
   

4. If you want to restrict these urls to only staff members, just add this setting to your settings file:

   DJANGO_MEMCACHED_REQUIRE_STAFF = True
   

That's it. Hopefully this app gives you a little insight into how your memcached servers are being utilized.
