I've recently created a new package for Redis and Django integration at
[https://github.com/Andrew-Chen-Wang/django-async-redis django-async-
redis]. I'd like to add the missing methods, e.g. `get_async` or
`set_async` to the BaseCache so people can get type hints or
autocompletion suggestions when using `django.core.cache.cache` with
async.
Additionally, in order to be compatible with the async methods, there
would need to be a new async method for closing cache connections/pools at
[https://github.com/django/django/blob/999cddd58d30469f3ee85278985313fdf528323d/django/core/cache/__init__.py#L116-L121
django.core.cache.backends.base]. I believe the only good solution to that
would be:
{{{
async def close_caches_async(**kwargs):
# Some caches -- python-memcached in particular -- need to do a
cleanup at the
# end of a request cycle. If not implemented in a particular backend
# cache.close is a no-op
for cache in caches.all():
await cache.close_async()
}}}
Please let me know if that is out of scope though. I also believe
implementing async methods for the current backends is also out of scope
of this ticket (and my time :P).
