Django - Persistant cache

Question

Is there a way I can set a cache key indefinitely using the default django cache framework? I tried setting the timeout to 0, but that doesn't set the key at all unfortunately.

Answer 1

Django 1.6 now accepts None for the timeout argument to specify forever.

Answer 2

Someone recently mentioned Johnny Cache in an unrelated answer. It provides a infinite caching locmem and memcached backend when a timeout of 0 is provided.
