""" Caching framework. This package defines set of cache backends that all conform to a simple API. In a nutshell, a cache is a set of values -- which can be any object that may be pickled -- identified by string keys. For the complete API, see the abstract BaseCache class in django.core.cache.backends.base. Client code should not access a cache backend directly; instead it should either use the "cache" variable made available here, or it should use the get_cache() function made available here. get_cache() takes a CACHES alias or a backend path and config parameters, and returns an instance of a backend cache class. See docs/topics/cache.txt for information on the public API.
