cache.get('key') returns None in Django using Memcached

Question

I am trying to use Memcache in my Django app, but it seems that something in my configuration is missing. Any help would be appreciated, Thank you!

>>> from django.core.cache import cache
>>> cache.set('my_key', 'hello, world!', 30)
>>> print cache.get('my_key')
None
>>> 

Settings.py

CACHES = {
    'default': {
        'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.memcached.MemcachedCache',
        'LOCATION': '127.0.0.1:11211', 
    }
}

APIs installed:

$ pypm install python-memcached
$ brew install memcached
$ brew install libmemcached

I think I had some issues in my configuration, so I just installed Memcache again using MacPorts

$ sudo port install memcached 

and then I ran Memcache, and it works

$ memcached -vv

These instructions have been tested on Mac OS X 10.7.5 (Lion)
