"""
Caching framework.

This module 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 Cache object, below.

Client code should not access a cache backend directly; instead
it should use the get_cache() function.  This function will look at
settings.CACHE_BACKEND and use that to create and load a cache object.

The CACHE_BACKEND setting is a quasi-URI; examples are:

    memcached://127.0.0.1:11211/    A memcached backend; the server is running 
                                    on localhost port 11211.
                                    
    pgsql://tablename/              A pgsql backend (the pgsql backend uses 
                                    the same database/username as the rest of
                                    the CMS, so only a table name is needed.)
                                    
    file:///var/tmp/django.cache/      A file-based cache at /var/tmp/django.cache
    
    simple:///                      A simple single-process memory cache; you
                                    probably don't want to use this except for
                                    testing. Note that this cache backend is 
                                    NOT threadsafe!

All caches may take arguments; these are given in query-string style.  Valid
arguments are:

    timeout         
        Default timeout, in seconds, to use for the cache.  Defaults
        to 5 minutes (300 seconds).
                
    max_entries     
        For the simple, file, and database backends, the maximum number of
        entries allowed in the cache before it is cleaned.  Defaults to
        300.
                
    cull_percentage 
        The percentage of entries that are culled when max_entries is reached. 
        The actual percentage is 1/cull_percentage, so set cull_percentage=3 to
        cull 1/3 of the entries when max_entries is reached.
        
        A value of 0 for cull_percentage means that the entire cache will be
        dumped when max_entries is reached.  This makes culling *much* faster
        at the expense of more cache misses.
                
For example:

    memcached://127.0.0.1:11211/?timeout=60
    pgsql://tablename/?timeout=120&max_entries=500&cull_percentage=4
    
Invalid arguments are silently ignored, as are invalid values of known 
arguments.
    
So far, only the memcached and simple backend have been implemented; backends
using postgres, and file-system storage are planned.
