Cache Backend - djcelery.backends.cache

celery.backends.cache

class djcelery.backends.cache.CacheBackend(*args, **kwargs)

Backend using the Django cache framework to store task metadata.

delete(key)
get(key)
set(key, value)
class djcelery.backends.cache.DjangoMemcacheWrapper(cache)

Wrapper class to django’s memcache backend class, that overrides the get() method in order to remove the forcing of unicode strings since it may cause binary or pickled data to break.

get(key, default=None)
set(key, value, timeout=0)
