I noticed that there are two different projects for using redis for django cache
https://github.com/sebleier/django-redis-cache/
https://github.com/niwibe/django-redis
Is one better known than the other, more of a standard package? I can't decide which to use.

Redis is an in-memory data structure store that can be used as a caching engine. Since it keeps data in RAM, Redis can deliver it very quickly. Redis is not the only product that we can use for caching.
When deciding whether to use Redis or Memcached a major difference between these two is data persistence. While Redis is an in-memory (mostly) data store and it is not volatile, Memcached is an in-memory cache and it is volatile.
For convenience, Django offers different levels of cache granularity: You can cache the output of specific views, you can cache only the pieces that are difficult to produce, or you can cache your entire site. Django also works well with “downstream” caches, such as Squid and browser-based caches.
What is Redis? Redis, which stands for Remote Dictionary Server, is a fast, open source, in-memory, key-value data store. The project started when Salvatore Sanfilippo, the original developer of Redis, wanted to improve the scalability of his Italian startup.
I am currently using django-redis as cache backend for Redis. I haven't used django-redis-cache so far, but what made me take the decision to use django-redis are the following:
On django-redis documentation site, you can find more reasons to consider it. What I can tell from my experience so far is that I am very happy with django-redis.
